Description:

clplot 0.2.1a0

clplot
clplot is a command line utility to create plots and pages of plots from
csv-like files.
It is a thin wrapper over matplotlib with a few conveniences built in.


Rationale
If you find yourself opening a csv file in a spreadsheet-like program to quickly plot and visualize your results, clplot may be a useful alternative for you.
It allows you to get summary information about columns in your dataset, plot given variables, plot all variables, and specify the manner in which plots (or pages of plots) are formatted.


Installation
$ pip install git+https://[email protected]/breisfeld/clplot.git

Dependencies

numpy
matplotlib




Usage
Examples
Assume that the data file is named myfile.csv and that it has a header
row with the names of the columns. Each subsequent row is assumed to
have numerical values corresponding to the header field names. For the
examples below, the header would have, at least, the field names (column
headers) y1, y2, y3, y4, y5, and v1.
Show the help:
$ clplot-script.py -h
Don’t make any plots; just list all of the column names that are present in the data
file:
$ clplot-script.py -l myfile.csv
Don’t make any plots; just list some statistics and information about columns ‘y1’ and
‘y2’:
$ clplot-script.py -i -c y1 -c y2 myfile.csv
Plot all of the columns in the file using the default independent variable (the one in the first column):
$ clplot-script.py myfile.csv
Plot just the columns ‘y1’ and ‘y2’ and use ‘v1’ as the independent
variable:
$ clplot-script.py -c y1 -c y2 -x v1 myfile.csv
Plot all of the columns except ‘y3’ and ‘y4’, put 12 plots on each
figure, and make the axis font size large:
$ clplot-script.py -e y3 -e y4 -n 12 --fontsize=20.0 myfile.csv
Plot columns matching the regular expression ‘y.(1|5)’ and put nine plots on each figure:*
$ clplot-script.py -n 9 -cr 'y.*(1|5)' myfile.csv
(The regular expression may need different quoting, depending on the OS
or shell)
Plot all of the data columns using red, dashed, thick lines:
$ clplot-script.py --linecolor='red' --linestyle='--' --linewidth=5 myfile.csv
Plot all of the data except those column names matching the regular
expression ‘.y.1’, and assume that the entries in the file are
separated by tabs instead of commas:
$ clplot-script.py -er '.*y.*1' -d '\t' myfile.csv
On Windows, use clplot.exe instead of clplot-script.py in the
lines above.
