Package: plotcli 0.3.0

plotcli: Command Line Interface Plotting

The 'plotcli' package provides terminal-based plotting in R. It supports colored scatter plots, line plots, bar plots, boxplots, histograms, density plots, heatmaps, and more. The 'ggplotcli()' function is a universal converter that renders any 'ggplot2' plot in the terminal using Unicode Braille characters or ASCII. Features include support for 27 geom types, faceting (facet_wrap/facet_grid), automatic theme detection, legends, optimized color mapping, and multiple canvas types.
