I recently found this project. One can get a String via .to_s, without
colours, which is super-convenient for display on a webpage - so, no
clue who had this idea, but the project is a really good idea.
Now to my proposal here.
I just tried this:
require 'rbt'
array = RBT.statistics?
require 'unicode_plot'
UnicodePlot.barplot(
data: array,
title: 'RBT - increase in the number of programs over the years'
).render
RBT.statistics? is a method in another project. It will return an Array
that has a simple two-entry structure like this:
[["25.10.2005", 274],
I then wanted to plot this.
However had, data: wants a Hash. If an array is given, it fails via:
.gem/gems/unicode_plot-0.0.5/lib/unicode_plot/barplot.rb:134:in `Hash': can't convert Array into Hash (TypeError)
The simple solution is to pass a Hash e. g. via:
data: Hash[array],
Ok problem solved. But, I think it would be more convenient if an Array can be
given, and unicode_plot tries to convert it into a Hash instead automatically.
