This repo contains example snippets of visualization in the terminal.
It's for my forgetting mind, so some of the examples contain unnecessary stuff just so I can use them in my processes without thinking.
It requires Kitty terminal as well as rsvg-convert (sometimes).

alias icat="kitty icat --align=left"
alias isvg="rsvg-convert | icat"

All examples are available in examples directory.

plot_png

Snippet with matplotlib, saving into png format.
It demonstrates the parameters to set to get good colors and sizes, default ones are not ideal for terminal.
If you want even simpler example and don't care about axis and want just content of plot, look at plot_svg - it doesn't have them, the same can be saved as png.

# generate png
python plot_png.py
# print in terminal
kitty icat --align=left plot_png.png

Result:

plot_svg

Simple snippet with matplotlib, saving into svg format. The plot is generated without axis, if you want details on how to handle axis, labels and stuff see plot_png - the same parameters apply to svg (I didn't check though).

This svg file is actually converted to png for kitty by rsvg-convert command below. Generating it in svg in the first place is not necessary. The example is for me just to illustrate how to export to svg, lol.

# generate svg
python plot_svg.py
# print in terminal
cat plot_svg.svg | rsvg-convert | kitty icat --align=left 

Result:

plot_animation

Simple snippet with matplotlib, saves animated plot into gif format.

# generate gif
python plot_animation.py
# print in terminal
kitty icat --align=left plot_animation.gif

Result:

This is gif of gif, lol, I made it in few takes, because I don't know how to take screenshots, so you can see browser on one of the pictures.
