Generate basic plots in Julia as ASCII art in the Julia REPL. This is based on code by Billou Bielour.
We'll start with imagesc:
using ASCIIPlots
A = eye(10)
imagesc(A)
This evaluates to,
julia> imagesc(A)
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
Then we'll change the data a bit and replot it:
A[10, 1] = 1
A[1, 10] = 1
imagesc(A)
This evaluates to,
julia> imagesc(A)
@# @#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@#
@# @#
Now we'll make a lineplot and a scatterplot:
x = 2 * pi * rand(30)
y = sin(x) + 0.1 * randn(30)
lineplot(x, y)
This evaluates to,
julia> lineplot(x, y)

Then we'll do a scatterplot:
scatterplot(x, y)
This evaluates to,
julia> scatterplot(x, y)

We can control the glyph being used:
scatterplot(x, y, sym = '*')
This evaluates to,
julia> scatterplot(x, y, sym = '*')
