clichart 0.5.2-rc1 final released

The first release candidate for version 0.5.2 of clichart is now available.

clichart provides tools for quick visualisation of tabular data on the command line by generating, displaying and saving charts, and for extracting that tabular data from text data (like log files). The emphasis here is on quick - the idea is to provide fast ways for you to visualise the relationships in your data.

clichart was originally developed for interactive charting of data from server log files, so its primary audience is probably software developers and system administrators. You can download the new release from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=185843 , or check out the home page at http://clichart.sourceforge.net/ .

This release adds a CLI server mode to the main clichart programme, allowing it to be driven interactively from any other script or program, from a command file, or interactively for debugging. There's also a new library for those wanting to use clichart from Python - your first chart is only 2 lines of code away!

Other additions include a new script called aggregate, which can produce aggregate (summary) data from tabular data files. Clichart now also allows overriding of series titles on the command line.

Cheers ................. JD
