Ascii PLOTTER for python 3 (APLOTTER3)

A stranger from the internet named Imri wrote this. You can read about Imri at their website, see their post about this code from some time in maybe 2007?, and download a zipfile of the original source.

I ported it to Python3 so I could generate some documentation with plots in it, and thought I should share the updated version in case someone else finds it useful.

How did I install this?

pip install aplotter3

How do I use this?

import aplotter3 as ap3
import numpy as np

x = np.sin(np.linspace(0, 6*np.pi, 100))
ap3.plot(x, x_size=60, y_size=15)

prints
