# textplots [](https://crates.io/crates/textplots)
Terminal plotting library for using in Rust CLI applications.
Should work well in any unicode terminal with monospaced font.
It is inspired by [TextPlots.jl](https://github.com/sunetos/TextPlots.jl) which is inspired by [Drawille](https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille).
Currently it features only drawing line charts on Braille canvas, but could be extended
to support other canvas and chart types just like [UnicodePlots.jl](https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl)
or another cool terminal plotting library.
Contributions are very much welcome!
# Usage
## Using as a library
```rust
use textplots::{Chart, Plot, Shape};
fn main() {
println!("y = sin(x) / x");
Chart::default()
.lineplot(&Shape::Continuous(Box::new(|x| x.sin() / x)))
.display();
}
```

## Using as a binary
```sh
$ textplots '10*x + x^2 + 10*sin(x)*abs(x)' --xmin=-20 --xmax=20
```
