   ── one line. one glance. one truth about your data. ──

Unicode sparklines, mini bar charts, and 1-D heatmaps — pure text.

codechu-spark

Stdlib-only text visualizations — Unicode sparklines, labeled mini bar charts, 1D heatmaps — extracted from the Disk Cleaner toolchain. No external dependencies. Python 3.10+.

Install

pip install codechu-spark

API

sparkline(values, *, width=None, chars="▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█")

from codechu_spark import sparkline

sparkline([1, 3, 7, 2, 5])                # → '▁▃█▂▅'
sparkline(list(range(100)), width=10)     # downsampled by averaging
sparkline([1, 2, 3], chars=".-=#")        # custom glyphs

• width=None → one glyph per value
• width<len(values) → downsample by averaging consecutive buckets
• width>len(values) → render at len(values) (no upsampling)
• Empty list → ''; all-equal → first glyph repeated

bar_chart(items, *, width=40, char="█")

from codechu_spark import bar_chart

print(bar_chart([
    ("python", 42),
    ("rust",   17),
    ("go",     8),
], width=20))
# python  ████████████████████  42
# rust    ████████              17
# go      ███                    8

Bars are scaled to the maximum value. Labels are left-aligned to the longest label. Negative values clip to a zero-width bar.

heatmap(values, *, chars=" ░▒▓█")

from codechu_spark import heatmap

heatmap([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])     # → ' ░▒▓█'
heatmap([0, 5, 10], chars=".oO")

A denser-than-sparkline row. Useful for per-bucket load, hour-of-day utilization, or any single-row intensity readout.

Documentation

• API reference — every public symbol with signatures, examples, and edge-case tables.
• Recipes — sparkline windows, top-N bars, 1-D heatmaps, custom ramps, terminal-width downsampling.
• Migration guide — 0.1 → 0.2 (internal refactor, no API changes).

Design

• Pure stdlib. Zero third-party dependencies.
• Single-row primitives. Each function returns a string (with embedded newlines for bar_chart); no terminal control codes, no cursor movement — that's a separate concern.
• Custom glyphs welcome. Pass any chars string ordered low → high.

Tests

pip install -e ".[dev]"
