Console ASCII Line charts in pure Javascript (for NodeJS and browsers)

Usage

NodeJS

npm install asciichart
var asciichart = require ('asciichart')
var s0 = new Array (120)
for (var i = 0; i < s0.length; i++)
    s0[i] = 15 * Math.sin (i * ((Math.PI * 4) / s0.length))
console.log (asciichart.plot (s0))

Options

The width of the chart will always equal the length of data series. The height and range are determined automatically.

var s0 = new Array (120)
for (var i = 0; i < s0.length; i++)
    s0[i] = 15 * Math.sin (i * ((Math.PI * 4) / s0.length))
console.log (asciichart.plot (s0))

The output can be configured by passing a second parameter to the plot (series, config) function. The following options are supported:

var config = {

    offset:  3,          // axis offset from the left (min 2)
    padding: '       ',  // padding string for label formatting (can be overrided)
    height:  10,         // any height you want

    // the label format function applies default padding
    format:  function (x, i) { return (padding + x.toFixed (2)).slice (-padding.length) }
}

Scale To Desired Height

var s = []
for (var i = 0; i < 120; i++)
    s[i] = 15 * Math.cos (i * ((Math.PI * 8) / 120)) // values range from -15 to +15
console.log (asciichart.plot (s, { height: 6 }))     // this rescales the graph to ±3 lines

Auto-range

var s2 = new Array (120)
s2[0] = Math.round (Math.random () * 15)
for (i = 1; i < s2.length; i++)
    s2[i] = s2[i - 1] + Math.round (Math.random () * (Math.random () > 0.5 ? 2 : -2))
console.log (asciichart.plot (s2))

Ports

Special thx to all who helped port it to other languages, great stuff!

Future work (coming soon, hopefully)

  • multi-line colored charts in console!
  • levels and points on the graph!
  • even better value formatting and auto-scaling!
