timeplot-0.7.5 is not a library.
About
TimePlot -- log your activity, visualize and analyze it.
Visualizing your performance can help you understand how certain things impact your computer work, properly bill customers for freelance tasks and potentially fight procrastination. Or maybe just get new cool graphs.:)
Usage
- Run "timeplot"
- Each 3 minutes your currently active window name is logged. Open the log to see if timeplot has categorized your activity correctly. It looks like this:
2018-10-01_14:00 skip 0 Desktop
2018-10-01_15:03 work 9 #rust @ irc.mozilla.org
2018-10-01_19:11 fun 18 The Battle for Wesnoth
2018-10-01_20:38 skip 0 Desktop

- If the category is wrong, fix the category right in the log.
- Edit rules to auto-categorize this window name in the future
- Wait for timeplot to re-draw the image
- Whenever you want to check the text log, or see if it can be improved, return 3 steps back.
Hints
- You can set the image as your Desktop background image if you like.
- You can configure the app:
-
- plot a different number of days
-
- colors, statistics display
-
- run configured subcommands whenever a particular category is encountered
