Commandline tool for plotting frequency ranked histograms of TSV/CSV data.
You might need to first install libfontconfig-dev on your system (or some analog of your distro).
$ cargo install hist-cli
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"

-h, --help Prints help information
-n, --nooutput do not save a PNG plot to a file
-t, --textplot also plot a textplot to STDOUT
-V, --version Prints version information

<input> optional file with on entry per line [default: STDIN]
Just piping from stdin:
$ cut -f 1 data.tsv | hist # same as hist -k 1 data.tsv
$ open histogram.png # on MacOS, on Linux maybe xdg-open, display or eog
$ echo a3 b2 b2 a3 a3 c4 c4 c4 c4 | tr ' ' '\n' | hist -n -t
# not plot at all, just replace: sort | uniq -c | sort -n
$ echo a3 b2 b2 a3 a3 c4 c4 c4 c4 | tr ' ' '\n' | hist -n -s -
2 b2
3 a3
4 c4
