I like to spice up things with gnuplot every now and then.

I have relied on Gnuplot ASCII output over SSH to get me through hard times

My brother in christ you can transfer files over ssh

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 19 points 5 months ago

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Lol I am aware. I just needed a way to quickly scatterplot stuff for intuition. The ASCII output was perfect and I didn't waste 30 seconds futzing with scp each time I needed to visualize another slice of data.

That's hardcore.

My MATLAB colleagues were jealous of my Matplotlib because the company didn't purchase the plotting add-on...

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

I'm using it right now, and I'm happy to report that it kept to it's time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

Plotly ❤️❤️

i have a disgusting amount of the plotly api memorized

you know you are addicted when you feel compelled to make a line plot from four data points

[–] geogle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

If they define a function that's fair. I'm of the firm belief that data are points and models/functions are lines.
