gnuplot is an alternative that is available on almost as many systems as awk, and can do the job as well

If you do this sort of thing more than once ever, look at the feedgnuplot tool (http://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot). It'll make your life easier

Neat! Once you're installing something to do terminal plots though, https://github.com/red-data-tools/YouPlot looks the nicest I've seen.

(The nice feature of feedgnuplot of course is that you can _also_ render the plots to images, which youplot can't)

But you could feed them through `textimg`[1] to generate PNGs.

lol, I love it
