✨ esl-histplot ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for esl-histplot from the Easel crew — and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, big main character energy" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

esl-histplot — collate data histogram, output xmgrace datafile

no cap, that's literally what it does. it collates, it histograms, it xmgrace-datafiles. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

esl-histplot [options] datafile

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so esl-histplot summarizes numerical data in the input file datafile. that's the whole vibe. ✨

here's the tea on how it reads your data: one real-numbered value is taken from each line of the input file. each line gets split into whitespace-delimited fields, and one field is converted to data. by default that's the first field — but bestie, you can change that with the -f option if you're feeling spicy. 🌶️

default output is a survival plot (Prob(value > x)) in xmgrace XY data format, and it goes to stdout. wanna redirect it to a file instead? that's what the -o option is for, and she ate. 💅

and the cutest little party trick: if datafile is - (a single dash, yes literally just one dash), input lines are read from stdin instead of opening a file. iconic behavior tbh. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -f <n> — read data from whitespace-delimited field <n> on each line, instead of the first field. bestie, fields are numbered starting from 1, not 0 — do not come for me, that's just how it is. 🌸
  • -h — print brief help; includes the version number and a summary of all options, including the expert options. yes, there are expert options. we love a secret menu. 🔥
  • -o <f> — send output to file <f> instead of stdout. go off, file. 💜
