NVD Concedes Inability to Keep Pace with Surging CVE Disclosures in 2025
Security experts warn that recent classification changes obscure the true scope of the NVD backlog as CVE volume hits all-time highs.
termplotlib is a Python library for all your terminal plotting needs. It aims to work like matplotlib.
For line plots, termplotlib relies on gnuplot. With that installed, the code
import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 10)
y = np.sin(x)
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.plot(x, y, label="data", width=50, height=15)
fig.show()
produces

import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy as np
rng = np.random.default_rng(123)
sample = rng.standard_normal(size=1000)
counts, bin_edges = np.histogram(sample)
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.hist(counts, bin_edges, orientation="horizontal", force_ascii=False)
fig.show()
produces
Horizontal bar charts are covered as well. This
import termplotlib as tpl
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.barh([3, 10, 5, 2], ["Cats", "Dogs", "Cows", "Geese"], force_ascii=True)
fig.show()
produces
Cats [ 3] ************
Dogs [10] ****************************************
Cows [ 5] ********************
Geese [ 2] ********
import termplotlib as tpl
import numpy as np
rng = np.random.default_rng(123)
sample = rng.standard_normal(size=1000)
counts, bin_edges = np.histogram(sample, bins=40)
fig = tpl.figure()
fig.hist(counts, bin_edges, grid=[15, 25], force_ascii=False)
fig.show()
produces
Support for tables has moved over to termtables.
termplotlib is available from the Python Package Index, so simply do
pip install termplotlib
to install.
