             Summary: Provide an ascii barchart method
                 Key: GROOVY-11103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11103
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Paul King

Groovy could provide an ascii barchart method. Python and DuckDB both provide 
methods for doing a simple barchart. Use would be something like this:
{code:java}
['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 
'Saturday'].each{
  println "\n${it.padRight(12)}${bar(it.size(), 0, 10, 10)}"
}
{code}
With this output:

This isn't trying to be a fully-fledged chart package, just providing one 
simple option which can be handy when working with the console, command-line or 
groovysh.
