You can clone from the origin with: git clone ssh://USERNAME@dlma.com/~/git/make_chart.git ### What Does it Do? You specify one of four renderers, and it analyzes (currently) some hardcoded data.. * **none**: Summary only, just print the mean, median, and standard deviation. * **gnuplot**: (default) Print an ASCII art graph. * **matplotlib**: Create a PNG file suitable for static reports and email. * **google**: A Google chart webpage with responsive features. Here's the help text: usage: make_chart.py [-h] [-r {none,gnuplot,matplotlib,google}] Makes histograms from raw samples or prepared buckets. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -r {none,gnuplot,matplotlib,google}, --renderer {none,gnuplot,matplotlib,google} Choose a renderer: summary only, text, png, or webpage. #### Example text rendering 40 +-------------------------------------------------------+ | + * * + + + + + + | | * * Pizzas ***A*** | 35 |-+ * * +-| | A * median = 80.00 | 30 |-+ * A*** mean = 81.67 sdev=38.09 +-| | * A** | | * A*** | 25 |-+ A A** +-| | * A*** | 20 |-+* A** +-| | * | | * A*** | 15 |-* A** +-| | * A*** | |* A** | 10 |*+ A +-| | * | 5 |-+ * +-| | * | | + + + + + + + A | 0 +-------------------------------------------------------+ 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 ### Is it any good?
