arbtt-chart 1.0.2

"Plot charts from arbtt-stats to terminal"

arbtt-chart

Textual chart for arbtt, the automatic, rule-based time tracker.

Similar to arbtt-graph, just in plain monospace text.

(The above screenshot is generated using my liskin-arbtt-stats which provides a few handy commands and combines data from multiple X sessions and Strava.)

Raw arbtt-stats output for the same time period looks something like this:

Getting started

1. Install arbtt and make sure arbtt-capture runs in your graphical login session.

2. Configure arbtt rules in ~/.arbtt/categorize.cfg. See Configuring the arbtt categorizer, Effective Use of Arbtt, and sample categorize.cfg for arbtt-graph.

3. Install arbtt-chart.

4. Try arbtt-stats --output-format=csv --each-category | arbtt-chart or arbtt-stats --output-format=csv --category=Graph | arbtt-chart

Installation

Using pipx:

pipx ensurepath
pipx install git+https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart

To keep a local git clone around:

git clone https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart
make -C arbtt-chart pipx

Alternatively, if you don't need the isolated virtualenv that pipx provides, feel free to just:

pip install git+https://github.com/liskin/arbtt-chart

Or, since the only dependency is pandas, you can just sudo apt install python3-pandas and run arbtt_chart.py directly. :-)

Usage

$ arbtt-chart --help
usage: arbtt-chart [-h] [--no-stacked] [--subtags] [--totals-re RE]

Plot charts from arbtt-stats to terminal. Expects `arbtt-stats --output-
format=csv --category=…` or `arbtt-stats --output-format=csv --each-category`
output on stdin.

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --no-stacked    don't stack bar chart
  --subtags       recognize subtags (separated by '-') and sort them together
  --totals-re RE  totals row regexp, default: ^\(total time\)$
