Termgraph is a Python command-line tool and library that draws basic charts like bar graphs, histograms, stacked charts, and calendar heatmaps directly in the terminal using Unicode block characters. It reads simple label/value data files or stdin and supports colors, custom tick marks, and emoji.

Use cases

• draw bar charts in the terminal
• visualize data from a file without a GUI
• render a calendar heatmap in the shell
• quickly chart numeric data from stdin
• add terminal charts to shell scripts
• plot quarterly sales as a terminal bar graph

When to choose

• you need lightweight terminal-based data visualization with no GUI
• you want to chart data inside shell scripts or CLI pipelines
• you prefer a simple Python library for ASCII/Unicode charts

When to avoid

• you need interactive, publication-quality, or web-based charts
• you need line/scatter plots or advanced chart types
• your terminal does not support Unicode block characters or ANSI colors
