A Julia library for rendering scientific plots using Unicode characters directly in the terminal or REPL. It supports line plots, scatter plots, bar charts, histograms, heatmaps, and more without any GUI dependencies.

Use cases

• plot data in the terminal
• visualize data in a REPL session
• draw charts over SSH without X11
• quickly inspect arrays and functions while coding
• add lightweight plots to CLI tools
• render histograms and scatter plots in a notebook-free workflow

When to choose

• you work in Julia and need plots inside the REPL or terminal
• you're on a headless server or SSH session with no display
• you want zero-dependency, fast, text-based visualization
• you're building a CLI tool that needs inline charts

When to avoid

• you need publication-quality or interactive graphical plots
• you need rich styling, legends, or export to image formats
• you're not working in Julia
• you need large datasets rendered with high fidelity
