Welcome!
Thank you!
I think gnuplot can output to ascii -- should be possible to capture that and insert it into an ncurses window.
Here are a couple of other approaches I've seen around:
https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille -- uses braille character for 'pixel' graphics.
https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer -- colour overkill!!
https://github.com/rigel314/ttysys -- usage graphs in terminal
https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa -- funky video/image conversion to terminal -- generate a gif or png and convert, perhaps?
https://github.com/HarryBeadle/ncgraph -- too blocky but colourful
The 'drawille' page has a lot of links to similar projects in various languages. To my mind it looks the most complete of the list above.
Thanks fot he tips, will take a look at them!
Please post more as your project evolves!
Sure thing.
The original idea was to have already started doing some sketches/tests with ncurses, but look like reality has better plans for me.
Will try to keep updated. I should give a chance to my gopher site in tildeverse...
