histoprint 1.0.1

How does it work?

Histoprint uses a mix of terminal color codes and unicode trickery (i.e. combining characters) to plot overlaying histograms.

Examples

Some examples:

import numpy as np
from histoprint import text_hist, print_hist

A = np.random.randn(1000) - 2
B = np.random.randn(1000)
C = np.random.randn(1000) + 2
D = np.random.randn(500) * 2

# text_hist is a thin wrapper for numpy.histogram
text_hist(
    B, bins=[-5, -3, -2, -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5], title="Variable bin widths"
)

histA = np.histogram(A, bins=15, range=(-5, 5))
histB = np.histogram(B, bins=15, range=(-5, 5))
histC = np.histogram(C, bins=15, range=(-5, 5))
histD = np.histogram(D, bins=15, range=(-5, 5))
histAll = ([histA[0], histB[0], histC[0], histD[0]], histA[1])

# print_hist can be used to print multiple histograms at once
# (or just to print a single one as returned by numpy.histogram)
print_hist(histAll, title="Overlays", labels="ABCDE")
print_hist(
    histAll,
    title="Stacks",
    stack=True,
    symbols="      ",
    bg_colors="rgbcmy",
    labels="ABCDE",
)
print_hist(
    histAll,
    title="Summaries",
    symbols=r"=|\/",
    fg_colors="0",
    bg_colors="0",
    labels=["AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", "B", "CCCCCCCCCCCCC", "D"],
    summary=True,
)

The last example does not use terminal colors, so it can be copied as text:
