Hi,

I just discovered termeter and I find it a very useful tool.

Question:
I have a tsv file where I want to plot 3 columns as 3 cdfs. How can I do it?

cat myfile.tsv | cut -f 6-9 | termeter <parameters here for 3 cdfs>

Thanks

We need to periodically run some command and add the output to the plot.

session-1 $ mkfifo /tmp/fifo
session-1 $ echo "i\tx\ty" >> /tmp/fifo
session-1 $ echo "1\t0\t3" >> /tmp/fifo
session-1 $ echo "2\t1\t4" >> /tmp/fifo
...

session-2 $ ./termeter < /tmp/fifo
# termeter starts and plots the data

session-1 $ echo "10\t33\t44" >> /tmp/fifo
# this data does not get plotted since fifo is exhausted by the start of termeter

Workaround is sending the output to a temp file and starting termeter with tail -f tempfile; it would be great if we could do it without using tail.

This is really a brilliant piece of software, and when you need something like this a google search reveals very few options, gnuplot with set terminal dumb is the main reasonable choice.

This would be accessible to a much wider audience if it could be installed via homebrew, the package manger for macOS / OSX. Basically its a sane way to manage executables.

A perfect example is hugo, the static website generator written in golang, with a simple install via brew install hugo.

I don't program in go, but termeter is perfect for me therefore I went to the trouble of installing go, dealing with path updates to my .zshrc, etc. And then go build termeter.

This is too much work when all I need is the executable.

trying to do
./myprogram|awk 'dumponevaluehere'|termeter
and nothing plotted till myprogramm end. But executing
./myprogram|awk 'dumponevaluehere'
shown value of interest online...

I can't get termeter by following errors.

Hi;

I've never used go before, but termeter looks good enough that I'm making the effort.

Getting it running was hard; I had assumptions that were not true. Here's how to get termeter running, for beginners:

echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOBIN=$HOME/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
go get github.com/atsaki/termeter/cmd/termeter
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/atsaki/termeter/cmd/termeter/
go build
./termeter --help
go install
$GOBIN/termeter --help

Here are the things I figured out:

1. Using 'cd /tmp; git clone https://github.com/atsaki/termeter.git; cd termeter; go build' won't work; the files have to be in the right directory.
2. The $GOPATH and $GOBIN environment variables have to exist.
3. The 'go build' command must be run in $GOPATH/src/github.com/atsaki/termeter/cmd/termeter/ , not $GOPATH/src/github.com/atsaki/termeter
4. If you do 'go build' in that directory, termeter will be created in that directory. If you do 'go install', termeter will be moved to $GOBIN/termeter. However, if you do 'go install -a github.com/atsaki/termeter/cmd/termeter' from your home directory, you'll get 'go install runtime: open /usr/lib/golang/pkg/linux_amd64/runtime.a: permission denied'
5. If you're in the same directory as the README.md file, 'go build' won't create 'termeter' and won't print any error messages; you have to be do 'cd ./cmd/termeter; go build'.

Ok, thanks for writing this!

On Ubuntu 18.04, in Tilix, sending Ctrl + C (SIGINT) does not do anything and the process continues running. I have to use the kill command to kill the process.

What could be the reason for this?
