Compact plot

import termplots as tmp
tmp.cplot([[32,20,0, 112],[-32,-20,0,20]])

Other arguments

plot()

• ystep (default 1): defines steps on the y axis
• lowlim: lower limit of the y axis
• highlim: upper limit of the y axis
• car (default ['*', '#', '@']): list of point(s) marker, the last char is used for overlaps
• labels (default None): list of labels

cplot()

Colors

Termplots support up to 6 colors. Colors are automatically assigned to different series.

I tested the colors only on macOS. If the colors don't work try a different terminal or open an issue
