Überzug: A CLI utility for drawing images on terminals

Back in the old days, you could open a graphics screen on most home computers. E.g. in Applesoft BASIC, you could use HGR and PLOT commands to draw things. That simplicity is missing on modern computers.

You could do that pretty easily with SciPy and PyPlot. Of course not as easily as a dedicated command, but it's pretty nice either way.

I use it all the time to plot the waveform of audio files before I listen to them.

That's true. I remember the Atari 8-bit had the same thing, some modes having a text bottom and a graphical top where plot and such could be used.
