[Tioga-news] ctioga 0.4 : a command-line interface for Tioga

[Vincent Fourmond]

  Hello again !

  We all know that Tioga is a really powerful tool, but so far it lacks
the capacity to make simple things simple. I hope that I will fill the
gap somehow.

  First thing I did after discovering Tioga was to create a command-line
front-end for it. It did evolve with many suggestions and bug reports
from Bill to the current release. I'll skip right to the examples:

ctioga file.dat > plots column 2 as a function of 1
ctioga file at 2:3 > plots column 3 as a function of 2
ctioga 'file@$2 + $1:$3**2' > plots the square of column 3 as a function

                              of the sum of the first and second
ctioga --mono file.dat > plots column 2 as a function of 1 in
                         monochrome..

ctioga --math 'sin(x)' > plots a nice sine

  There are many ways for now to customize the output. ctioga comes with
a manual page (in doc/ctioga.1) and some examples in examples/ .

  I am waiting for suggestions and bug reports (with a certain
preference for the first).

  ctioga can be downloaded on rubyforge:

  I hope you will find it useful !

  Enjoy !
