How to use
py main.py [function: str] [scale: float,float] [origin: int,int] [size: int,int] [discontinuous: bool] [precision: bool] [ascii_only: bool]
Parameter | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
function | str |
Defines the function | |
scale | float,float |
0.1,10 |
Scales the graph in x,y direction |
origin | int,int |
40,20 calculated by (size-1)/2 |
Sets the origin of the plot to the list index x,y |
size | int,int |
81,41 |
Sets the size x,y in characters of the plot |
discontinuous | bool |
false |
Specifies if the graph should be plotted discontinuously |
precision | bool |
false |
Specifies if the graph should be plottet with thinner characters oriented at the angle at the point |
ascii_only | bool |
false |
Specifies whether the graph should be plotted with thinner characters, depending on the slope at each point |

Examples
- Specifie the scale in x direction as 0.2 and use the default scale in y direction of 10, so write
0.2,_
- Set the x origin to the list index 5 and use the default y origin of list index 20, so write
5,_
- Use the default x size of the plot of 81 and specifie the y size of the plot as 32, so write
_,32
- Use the default for all other parameter, so don't write anything or use
_
and_,_
as placeholder
py main.py sin(x) 0.2,_ 5,_ _,32
The result plot contains the plotted graph of the function and in the first line all parameter values to reproduce it. Also, the entire plot is copied to the clipboard.

- Set the
discontinuous
Parameter to default, so write_
- Now specifie the
precision
Parameter to true, so write1
,true
orTrue
- Also specifie the
ascii_only
Parameter to true, so write1
,true
orTrue
Note: Use
0
,false
orFalse
to set a Parameter of type bool to false.
py main.py f(x)=sin(x) 0.2,10 5,14 81,32 _ _ 1
Now the plot contains only real ASCII characters and the character of each point depends on its slope.
