This is great!! I would really like to see this implemented as a generic library for visualizing data, not limited to ROS. Something like matplotlib on python but with all the output in ASCII.

Here is the ASCII/Braille-art library (which I wrote) extracted out as a generic library: https://github.com/dheera/python-termgraphics

It's on pip: pip install termgraphics (evolving, future versions may break backward compatibility but I'll try not to)

Thanks! I can see some good uses for this outside of ROS.

There is a very cool Julia library: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl

You mean, like GNUplot with sixels? Such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19521230 ???
