rr2graph 0.1.9

A lightweight health data analytics tool for monthly time-series visualization and distribution analysis.

📘 rr2graph — Visualize Blood Pressure, Pulse, and Weight Data

rr2graph is a lightweight command‑line tool for processing and visualizing blood pressure, pulse, and weight data stored in Excel files.
It generates monthly plots (box‑swarm, scatter, histogram, violin) and exports them automatically as PNG, PDF, and SVG.

📤 Example Output

Example visualization using scatter and box‑swarm plots:

Format: A4 Landscape (11.69 × 8.27 inch)

The CLI prints all generated files:

Heart rows read: 81
Weight rows read: 49
→ Excel file: rr_data.xlsx
→ Months: 3
→ Output folder: plots/
Generating histogram plots…
Generated histogram plots stored at:
– plots/png/(2026-02__2026-04 3 months) per month data and histogram.png
– plots/pdf/(2026-02__2026-04 3 months) per month data and histogram.pdf
– plots/svg/(2026-02__2026-04 3 months) per month data and histogram.svg

🛠 Troubleshooting

❌ UnicodeDecodeError in YAML

You likely passed an Excel file as --config.

Correct:

rr2graph -c config.yaml

Incorrect:

rr2graph -c test_rr_data.xlsx

❌ CLI command not found

Reinstall:

pipenv install -e .
