I saw Drawille <https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille> for python on Hacker News yesterday, and realized I'd always wanted to do something just like that. Julia is capable of supporting a much more elegant syntax for plotting than the python or javascript versions of Drawille, so I went ahead and built my first public Julia package: DotPlot.jl<https://github.com/sunetos/DotPlot.jl>
using DotPlot dotplot(x -> cos(x); x=0:5) You should be able to plot any continuous real-valued function with it. <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunetos/DotPlot.jl/master/doc/img/dotplot-screenshot-1.png> I hope it's useful to someone other than me; feedback/pull-requests welcome. Note that there is another Julia package ASCIIPlots.jl<https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/ASCIIPlots.jl> that does not require unicode (but therefore the graphs are a bit uglier).
