PLOTPIPE
- plot data from a pipe -

We have all been there: You have a bunch of data from a pipe that you
would like to get a better understanding of.
You know you can plot them by saving the data to a file, opening the
file in a spreadsheet, and making a graph; but it is just too much
bother because you do not need a fancy graph: You just need a quick
graph based on the data, and spending 5 minutes on generating that
graph is just too much hassle.
Plotpipe is designed for this situation.
Plotpipe reads data from a pipe (or a file) and plots it. If the input
is a CSV-file it tries to autodetect the separator and whether there
is a column header. It assumes the first column is the x-axis and that
all other columns are data series. If there is only a single
column, the line number is treated as the x-axis.
Examples:
seq 1 100 | plotpipe
seq 1 100 | shuf | plotpipe
paste <(seq 1 100) <(seq 1 100) <(seq 1 100 | shuf) | plotpipe
(echo "#Title"; echo "#Subtitle";
echo "Column1 Column2 Column3";
paste <(seq 1 100) <(seq 1 100) <(seq 1 100 | shuf) ) | plotpipe
