✨ NAME ✨

xy-plot — bestie, it makes a line graph and then shows it to you 💖

Part of the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xy-plot [filename]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: xy-plot reads a two-column text file from standard input, where column one is your x coordinates and column two is your y coordinates (in that order, bestie, the order matters 😭).

Then it ✨generates✨ a corresponding PNG image, and — if it possibly can — it displays that image to you. It's giving "graph paper but make it a glow-up". 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • filename — the output filename, and it's edirect.png by default 🫶. Pro tip from me to you: explicitly writing out the .png extension may be helpful, so like, do that 🌈.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • xdg-open(1)

lowkey obsessed with how short this one is, fr fr. go plot something pretty 🌸
