What does HackerNews think of itermplot?

An awesome iTerm2 backend for Matplotlib, so you can plot directly in your terminal.

Language: Python

#102 in Python
If you happen to use `iTerm2`, then https://github.com/daleroberts/itermplot works very well. I've used it before and can recommend it pretty highly.
Thanks, that was cool hearing about your use of itermplot :-)

Thanks. Yes when I'm being organized I manage to get the notebook able to `reload` a module that I'm working on in my editor, which is probably the most important step towards reducing code in the notebook.

But in general I wonder whether this is what I'm looking for: https://github.com/daleroberts/itermplot

I get a very similar experience using IPython from a terminal, sometimes copying code over from my main text editor (where I have linting, multiple cursors and other niceties). As I do a lot of plotting I use itermplot[1] to display inline graphics. When I'm done I copy everything using %history XX to a permanent home in libraries or standalone scripts.

Agreed. There is even a matplotlib backend called itermplot[0] that uses iterm's image display capabilities, which, combined with iterm's tmux integration, makes developing scientific code on remote servers a dream.

If you are running a Mac for your desktop (with iTerm2) and ssh'ing into a Linux machine. These work if you run them remotely as the image gets transferred through the SSH session:

Alternatively, for any other terminal emulator with Unicode 9.0 font support and true color support, you can use:

This even includes Windows (using patched PuTTY) and remotely running 'tv' on a Linux machine.
