+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
