STC - STatistics Cli

Calculate basic statistics from a bash pipeline. By default it does not need to save any data, and therefore can handle arbitrarily sized streams of data.

$ python3 -c "import math; print('\n'.join(str(math.sin(i / 150) / i) for i in range(1, 3000)))" \

Optionally can make calculations that require all of the data in memory.

$ python3 -c "import math; print('\n'.join(str(math.sin(i / 150) / i) for i in range(1, 3000)))" \

Usage:

$ stc -h
Usage of stc:
  -a	enables statistics that require memory allocation
  -g	graph the data in the terminal
  -xdim int
    	character length of x axis (default 68)
  -ydim int
    	character length of y axis (default 20)
