Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a good way to create a #graph or #chart from a #dataset under #Linux.

The data is in a #CSV file and has around 180,000 rows. One column contains the timestamps, and several other columns contain the actual #measurement values.

Not every value is recorded at every timestamp, so there are different #sampling rates across columns, and some fields are empty. The solution should be able to handle that – missing data, large file size, and multiple series plotted over #time.

What’s your preferred tool or approach for this kind of visualization?
Ideally something scriptable or easily repeatable.

@0xF21D it is a #TSV file, but aside from out-commented lines, all entries are just one after the other, thus should just import fine.

I don't use #CSV as I want to be able to write full sentences in data fields and standardized on this since some fields may need #commas and #spaces, whereas #tabs work perfectly fine as seperators...

What are some of your favorite #Open #Document formats? Do you use #csv, #ical, #html and #css, odt, xml, json, #wav, #flac regularly? What #Free formats do you rely on? You can also use plain text files for a variety of functions from telling stories and taking notes to creating #todo.txt or similar files or #emacs org mode files. Have a favorite use for plain text files? Share it with us. Join us in celebrating #DocumentFreedomDay on March 26, 2025. #DFF #FLOSS

I just finished transcribing all the 90 or so #arabic adjectives we had in the language class into a flashcard app, so I can torture myself on my vacation and hopefully memorize some of them. :)

Fortunately, I've found a flashcard app that can import simple #CSV files, so I did not have to use the tiny phone keyboard, but did it from the comfort of my big PC. :)
