ntcharts - Nimble Terminal Charts

ntcharts is a Golang Terminal Charting library for the Bubble Tea Framework and other TUIs.

We supply many chart types within the glory of your terminal!

Type	Description
Canvas	A 2D grid to plot arbitrary runes, with LipGloss for styling and BubbleZone for mousing. It is the foundation for all the following charts.
Bar Chart	Displays values as either horizontal rows or vertical columns.
Line Chart	Displays (X,Y) data points onto a 2D grid in various types of charts.
Scatter Chart	Plots abitrary runes onto (X,Y) coordinates.
Streamline Chart	Displays a continuous a line moving across the Canvas from the right side to the left side.
Time Series Chart	Displays lines with values on the Y axis and time values on the X axis.
Waveline Chart	A line chart that connects points in a wave pattern.
Sparkline	A small, simple visual of data chart for quick understanding.

Quickstart Tutorial

This tutorial creates a simple Time Series Chart with two data sets utilizing the Bubble Tea framework, Lip Gloss for styling and BubbleZone for mouse support.

Usage

See the examples folder for code samples and visuals of each type.

Canvas

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/canvas"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss"
)

func main() {
    c := canvas.New(5, 2)
    c.SetLinesWithStyle(
        []string{"hello", "world"},
        lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("6"))) // cyan

    fmt.Println(c.View())
}

This example produces the following canvas with Lip Gloss foreground color:

Bar Chart

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/barchart"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss"
)

func main() {
    d1 := barchart.BarData{
        Label: "A",
        Values: []barchart.BarValue{
            {"Item1", 21.2, lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("10"))}}, // green
    }
    d2 := barchart.BarData{
        Label: "B",
        Values: []barchart.BarValue{
            {"Item1", 15.2, lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("9"))}}, // red
    }

    bc := barchart.New(11, 10)
    bc.PushAll([]barchart.BarData{d1, d2})
    bc.Draw()

    fmt.Println(bc.View())
}

This example produces the following bar chart with green and red bars:

Streamline Chart

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/linechart/streamlinechart"
)

func main() {
    slc := streamlinechart.New(13, 10)
    for _, v := range []float64{4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 2, 4} {
        slc.Push(v)
    }
    slc.Draw()

    fmt.Println(slc.View())
}

This example produces the following streamline chart:

  │  ╭╮      
 8│  ││      
  │ ╭╯╰╮     
 6│ │  │     
  │╭╯  ╰╮    
 4├╯    ╰╮  ╭
  │      │  │
 2│      ╰╮╭╯
  │       ││ 
 0│       ╰╯ 

Time Series Chart

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/linechart/timeserieslinechart"
)

func main() {
    tslc := timeserieslinechart.New(41, 10)
    for i, v := range []float64{0, 4, 8, 10, 8, 4, 0, -4, -8, -10, -8, -4, 0} {
        date := time.Now().Add(time.Hour * time.Duration(24*i))
        tslc.Push(timeserieslinechart.TimePoint{date, v})
    }
    tslc.DrawBraille()

    fmt.Println(tslc.View())
}

This example produces the following time series chart using braille runes starting with today's date:

Waveline Chart

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/canvas"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/linechart/wavelinechart"
)

func main() {
    wlc := wavelinechart.New(12, 10, wavelinechart.WithYRange(-3, 3))
    wlc.Plot(canvas.Float64Point{1.0, 2.0})
    wlc.Plot(canvas.Float64Point{3.0, -2.0})
    wlc.Plot(canvas.Float64Point{5.0, 2.0})
    wlc.Plot(canvas.Float64Point{7.0, -2.0})
    wlc.Plot(canvas.Float64Point{9.0, 2.0})
    wlc.Draw()

    fmt.Println(wlc.View())
}

This example produces the following waveline chart:

Sparkline

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/NimbleMarkets/ntcharts/sparkline"
)

func main() {
    sl := sparkline.New(10, 5)
    sl.PushAll([]float64{7.81, 3.82, 8.39, 2.06, 4.19, 4.34, 6.83, 2.51, 9.21, 1.3})
    sl.Draw()

    fmt.Println(sl.View())
}

This example produces the following sparkline:
