Count processes by user ID.
ps aux | awk '{print $1}' | uplot count
Count the number of chromosomes where genes are located.
cat gencode.v35.annotation.gff3 \
| grep -v '#' | grep 'gene' | cut -f1 \
| uplot count -t "The number of human gene annotations per chromosome" -c blue
Note: count
is not very fast because it runs in a Ruby script.
This is fine in most cases, as long as the data size is small. If you want to visualize huge data, it is faster to use a combination of common Unix commands as shown below.
cat gencode.v35.annotation.gff3 | grep -v '#' | grep 'gene' | cut -f1 \
| sort | uniq -c | sort -nrk1 \
| uplot bar --fmt yx -d ' ' -t "The number of human gene annotations per chromosome" -c blue
uplot
is the shortened form of youplot
. You can use either.
Command | Description |
---|---|
cat data.tsv | uplot <command> [options] |
Take input from stdin |
uplot <command> [options] data.tsv ... |
Take input from files |
pipeline1 | uplot <command> -O | pipeline2 |
Outputs data from stdin to stdout |
The following sub-commands are available.
command | short | how it works |
---|---|---|
barplot | bar | draw a horizontal barplot |
histogram | hist | draw a horizontal histogram |
lineplot | line | draw a line chart |
lineplots | lines | draw a line chart with multiple series |
scatter | s | draw a scatter plot |
density | d | draw a density plot |
boxplot | box | draw a horizontal boxplot |
count | c | draw a barplot based on the number of occurrences (slow) |
colors | color | show the list of available colors |
-o
- By default, the plot is output to standard error output.
- If you want to output to standard output, Use hyphen
-o -
or no argumentuplot s -o |
.
-O
- By default, the input data is not shown anywhere.
- If you want to pass the input data directly to the standard output, Use hyphen
-O -
or no argumentuplot s -O |
. - This is useful when passing data to a subsequent pipeline.
-H
- If input data contains a header line, you need to specify the
-H
option.
- If input data contains a header line, you need to specify the
-d
- You do not need to use
-d
option for tab-delimited text since the default value is tab. - To specify a blank space, you can use
uplot bar -d ' ' data.txt
.
- You do not need to use
-p
--progress
- Experimental progressive mode is currently under development.
ruby -e 'loop{puts rand(100)}' | uplot line --progress
--help
- The
--help
option will show more detailed options for each subcommand. uplot hist --help
- The
-
YouPlot treats the first column as the X axis and the second column as the Y axis. When working with multiple series, the first column is the X axis, the second column is series Y1, the third column is series Y2, and so on.
-
If you pass only one column of data for
line
andbar
, YouPlot will automatically use a sequential number starting from 1 as the X-axis. -
--fmt
--fmt xyy
--fmt xyxy
--fmt yx
options give you a few more choices. Seeyouplot <command> --help
for more details.- The fmt option may be renamed in the future.
- The
-x
and-y
options might be used to specify columns in the future.
-
Use
awk '{print $2, $1}'
to swap columns. Usepaste
to concatenate series.
- With GNU datamash, you can manage to handle categorized data.
cat test/fixtures/iris.csv | sed '/^$/d' | datamash --header-in --output-delimiter=: -t, -g5 collapse 3,4 | cut -f2-3 -d: | sed 's/:/\n/g' | uplot s -d, -T --fmt xyxy
- This is not so easy...
- Not yet supported.
You can specify default options in a configuration file in YAML format. For more information, enter the following command.
uplot --config
