Welcome to the clplot wiki!

Current Status:

I just rolled the version number to 1.1 from 1.0, then I realized the version has been 0.1 not 1.0. Oops.

The roll over was due to finally implementing

• 'reload-from-plot' functionality, (not documented in the help yet)
• useful help output at interactive prompts, (try '?')
• and interactive data format determination.

The interactive plotting mode is almost at the point where I'm ready to call it good enough.

The big things on the To-Do list are:

• implement other backends (namely gnuplot)

• make sure this works on other machines (both non OS X, and non my computer)

• include build tests

• scrap the globe module which is nothing more than a dirty way to do a global dict

• I really don't like the arrangement of the sub-modules and that aspect of the code structure.

Wish list

• I would like it to be possible to have a plot open and continue to be interacting (instead of the program pausing while the plot window is open)
• Live plot mode! I would like to implement a mode where a file is monitored for changes and the plots are updated automatically. I'm thinking there would be a live window.
• Buffered pipe mode. This would be an extension of live plot mode, but the utility would be at the receiving end of a pipe of time series data. The utility would buffer the data and plot a rolling window.
