Thanks, this is great! This is starting to turn into a real project.

waldyrious commented 10 years ago

Of course :) if we have the ability to plot stuff directly in the terminal, why depend exclusively on GUIs? Progressive enhancement ftw!

In fact I'd even say this sort of lightweight plotting support should come out of the box with Julia...

I just added small comments throughout to try to make things a bit less obtuse for potential contributors: 5f540512dae3324a2d5170d4ab2199c9fcee934d

And I tend to agree about the builtin light-weight plotting, but I'm obviously biased towards this particular package ;)

Gadfly + IPython will be far, far more convenient once bytecode caching prevents the 30-60 second Gadfly import delay of doom.

waldyrious commented 10 years ago

Yeah, but until then, TextPlots is a way better UX than "ERROR: plot not defined" :( Re: the comments, that's great! Definitely makes it easier to jump into the code.
