YouPlot is a command line tool that draws plots such as bar charts, histograms, line plots, scatter plots, and box plots directly in the terminal. It is written in Ruby, powered by UnicodePlot, and works well with Unix pipes on CSV/TSV data.
Use cases
- plot csv data in the terminal
- draw a histogram from command line output
- visualize data piped from curl or awk
- quick line plot of time series in the shell
- make a bar chart from ls output
- terminal-based data visualization without a gui
When to choose
- you want quick inline plots while working in a shell pipeline
- you work with CSV/TSV data and want zero-GUI visualization
- you want a lightweight tool installable via brew, gem, nix, or guix
When to avoid
- you need interactive, high-resolution, or publication-quality graphics
- you need rich chart types beyond basic terminal plots
- you prefer not to depend on a Ruby runtime
