A quick-start guide for using gnuplot for in-terminal plotting

A quick-start guide for using gnuplot for in-terminal plotting

Sometimes it is really nice to just take a quick look at some data. However, when working on remote computers, it is a bit of a burden to move data files to a local computer to create a plot in something like R. One solution is to use gnuplot and make a quick plot that is rendered in the terminal. It isn't very pretty by default, but it gets the job done quickly and easily. There are also advanced gnuplot capabilities that aren't covered here at all.

gnuplot has it's own internal syntax that can be fed in as a script, which I won't get into. Here is the very simplified gnuplot code we'll be using:

set terminal dumb size 120, 30; set autoscale; plot '-' using 1:3 with lines notitle

Let's break this down:

My personal tmux cheat sheet for working with sessions, windows, and panes. `NB` I have remapped the command prefix to `ctrl` + `a`.

Sessions

New Session

  • tmux new [-s name] [cmd] (:new) - new session

Switch Session

  • tmux ls (:ls) - list sessions
  • tmux switch [-t name] (:switch) - switches to an existing session

How to get Emoji in your Ubuntu Terminal
<!--
1. Download the Android Jelly Bean fonts and the Symbola font:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvtzcnzkvbe0nrt/jelly-bean-fonts.zip
http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Symbola707.zip
2. unzip the files and put AndroidEmoji.ttf and Symbola.ttf (and any of the other fonts that strike your fancy)
in your ~/.fonts/ directory
3. run `fc-cache -f`. You can check to make sure the new fonts
were installed with `fc-list`. You'll probably want to grep the copious output for Symbola or Emoji
