ConsolePlot

ConsolePlot is a .NET library for creating customizable line charts in the console.

Complete documentation is available at the API documentation.

Quick Start

To use ConsolePlot, first install the NuGet Package:

dotnet add package ConsolePlot

Here's a simple example to get you started:

using ConsolePlot;

Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

double[] xs = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
double[] ys = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25];

Plot plt = new Plot(80, 22);
plt.AddSeries(xs, ys);
plt.Draw();
plt.Render();

This will create a simple plot in your console:

Features
