The readme only shows how to plot with GR through Plots.jl. Are other options possible? If yes, it would be very nice to see them demonstrated in the readme?

[eschnett]

Sure! Most plotting packages should work. Here is an example for Makie:

julia> using CairoMakie, SixelTerm
julia> scatter(rand(100))

I'll update the README, thanks for the pointer.

Is there a plotting package you prefer using?

[KronosTheLate]

I am looking into something lightweight and low-dependency, for live-streaming an oscilloscope trace via a Raspberry Pi, to a controlling laptop via ssh. It looks like using GR directly is a good option, which happens to support sixel nativly.

I normally use Makie, but I believe it is too heavy to be a reasonable choice to be run on the Pi.

Peyhaps Bookeh would be interesting? I remeber it got supeisingly much attention for its release. Otherwise, I generally believe low latency and low-cost plots are important where one wants to use the terminal, but I have my biases...

[eschnett]

I think GR would be a good choice because it's implemented via a C (?) library.

Bokeh looks as if it was implemented in Javascript, which might not be "low latency" or "low-cost". I quick look also didn't show any backend that produces a figure; instead, it seems to be looking for a place to display html.

[KronosTheLate]

Right. I am not sure then which other options would be nice.

I added the example.
