Main features

• plotext draws its plots inside the terminal, as colored text, and its installation needs nothing beside itself; only pictures and videos ask for the optional extras.
• Basic plots: scatter, line and stem, each returning a signal you configure and then draw.
• Bars: simple, labeled, floating, multiple and stacked, with histograms and box plots.
• Specialized plots: error bars, event plots, heatmaps, confusion matrices and indicators.
• Shapes and text: rectangles, polygons, segments and lines in five line styles, plus text written anywhere on the plot.
• Dates: a date and time axis, and the candlestick chart of financial prices.
• Media: pictures, gifs and video with its sound, YouTube included.
• Live plots: streaming that redraws in place, and text animated by a moving effect.
• Plot settings: the size, the title and labels, the rulers and their ticks, the axes, the canvas and its legend, twelve themes and your own.
• Subplots: a grid of plots, each panel holding a grid of its own, to any number of levels, and each with its own size, theme and settings.
• Higher resolution: markers splitting each character into a grid of sub-points, fitting four to eight times the data in the same space.
• Colored primitives: the pixel holding a color pair and a style, colored strings, the matrix of colored characters a plot is made of, and the marker drawn at each point.
• Terminal: read its size, clear it, and catch a key press without waiting.
• Tools: test data, a file toolkit, a command line tool drawing a plot with no Python written, pretty docstrings browsable in a menu, and recipes for other packages.
