Tips and tricks

Plotting from files

It is also possible to plot data from files and pipes directly. For instance for JSON:

foxplot my_data.json -l /observation/cpu_temperature

And for MessagePack:

foxplot my_data.mpack -l /observation/cpu_temperature

Shell completion

Zsh users can filter foxplot completion on JSON and MessagePack files:

zstyle ":completion:*:*:foxplot:*" ignored-patterns "^*.(json|mpack)"
