+name
+       tg - TermGraph - Text graphing utility
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       tg  [-s|--silent]  [-l|--last-n  N]  [-h|--height N] [-w|--width N] [-t
+       type]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       tg TermGraph is a utility for graphing
+
+
+OPTIONS
+       -h, --help
+              Display help information.
+
+
+       -s, --silent
+              Disable distracting elements, such as axis and non-graph text.
+
+
+       -a, --ascii
+              Shorthand for -t ascii, if  multiple  options  setting  mode  is
+              specified, the last will likely be respected.
+
+
+       -b, --braille
+              Shorthand  for  -t  braille, if multiple options setting mode is
+              specified, the last will likely be respected.
+
+
+       -n, --last-n count
+              If specified, only the newest count  samples  will  be  plotted.
+              This  can  be useful if you want to follow the latest state of a
+              graph that is piped in.
+
+
+       -c, --cut
+              This is a special case of --last-n. Where the number of  columns
+              --width will be used for the count.
+
+
+       -t type
+              The  type  of  graph  to draw, it defaults to star, which is the
+              fastest one.  Options are star, ascii  and  braille.   Ascii  is
+              slightly prettier to look at.
+
+
+       -w, --width width
+              Specify  a  width for the output.  If not specified, it will at‐
+              tempt to determine the TTY width and use that.  If it cannot  be
+              automatically determined, it will fail.
+
+
+       -h, --height height
+              Specify  a height for the output.  If not specified, it will at‐
+              tempt to determine the TTY height and use that.  If it cannot be
+              automatically determined, it will fail.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+       The simplest version is if you have a text file of values
+
+              cat file | tg
+
+                                  2024-06-08                             TG(1)
