Thanks for pointing me to Shellshow, I hadn't heard of it before, it looks cool! I'll look into it in detail sometime this week and see if I can add some of its features to `present`. > One thing I want in a tool like this is to be able to display ascii charts like from gnuplot, which is why I liked the simplicity of Shellshow. I will have to dig in to see if this is possible, if not I expect it would be easy to add. I've thought about adding charting features too! Asciimatics supports barcharts: https://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/asciimatics.htm... and lets you extend classes to build other types of charts too. Would you like to open an issue and describe this feature a bit in detail? https://github.com/vinayak-mehta/present/issues For example, what should the API look like, should it pick up data from a csv file and load it up
Read the rest
into a barchart etc. I would love to work on this when I find time!
