I cannot clone the project using Git Gui on Windows:

remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/proxb/PoshCharts/tree/Dev/' not found

Reproduced as follows

gwmi -class win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process -Filter "Name != '_Total' AND Name != 'idle' AND PercentProcessorTime != '0'" | Select Name, @{N='ProcTime';E={$_.PercentProcessorTime}} | Out-BarChart -XField Name -YField ProcTime

@proxb , we can split this into two tasks... just tell me which one you would want to tackle

I don't know if easily done but wouldn't it be nice to include following C# library?
beto-rodriguez/Live-Charts repo
http://lvcharts.net/

Many thanks

There is too much copy-pasting across the various functions and it makes it hard to quickly read each chart and debug. Plus, this function is not documented so it takes a moment to understand what it does.

Also, there are more generic implementations of a ConvertTo-Hashtable we could use rather than roll our own.
Please see: https://gist.github.com/dlwyatt/4166704557cf73bdd3ae

• Generally cool / geeky
• Interesting stuff to visualize
• Easy to encourage other people to play with examples

Some inspiration from KeyLines: https://cambridge-intelligence.com/visualizing-stack-overflow/

• LegendText isn't documented
• examples contain typos and @proxb 's home directory; suggest using ~ instead for generic user path directory

My previous Issue #10 was getting highly repetitive, and I wanted a way to parameterize my test cases and make them more efficient. Plus, I still haven't bothered learning Pester yet.

http://www.githubarchive.org/

GitHubArchive stores all the public events from the GitHub timeline and exposes them for processing. The events contain info about the repositories, so you should be able to pull the data out of there to fit your use-case.

I am inspired by Sourcer.IO, but I do not trust them with my login details, so I thought it would be cool if some test cases also served as an interactive tutorial.
