The graph can include legends for each series, making it easier to interpret.

v = math.Sqrt(math.Pow(float64(r), 2)-math.Pow(float64(x), 2)) / 2

This package also brings a small utility for command line usage.
Assuming $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH, install CLI with following command:
go install github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph/cmd/asciigraph@latestor pull Docker image:
docker pull ghcr.io/guptarohit/asciigraph:latestor download binaries from the releases page.
> asciigraph --help
Usage of asciigraph:
asciigraph [options]
Options:
-ac axis color
y-axis color of the plot
-b buffer
data points buffer when realtime graph enabled, default equal to `width`
-c caption
caption for the graph
-cc caption color
caption color of the plot
-d delimiter
data delimiter for splitting data points in the input stream (default ",")
-f fps
set fps to control how frequently graph to be rendered when realtime graph enabled (default 24)
-h height
height in text rows, 0 for auto-scaling
-lb lower bound
lower bound set the minimum value for the vertical axis (ignored if series contains lower values) (default +Inf)
-lc label color
y-axis label color of the plot
-o offset
offset in columns, for the label (default 3)
-p precision
precision of data point labels along the y-axis (default 2)
-r realtime
enables realtime graph for data stream
-sc series colors
comma-separated series colors corresponding to each series
-sl series legends
comma-separated series legends corresponding to each series
-sn number of series
number of series (columns) in the input data (default 1)
-ub upper bound
upper bound set the maximum value for the vertical axis (ignored if series contains larger values) (default -Inf)
-w width
width in columns, 0 for auto-scaling
asciigraph expects data points from stdin. Invalid values are logged to stderr.Feed it data points via stdin:
seq 1 72 | asciigraph -h 10 -c "plot data from stdin"or use Docker image:
seq 1 72 | docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/guptarohit/asciigraph -h 10 -c "plot data from stdin"Output:

plot data from stdinExample of real-time graph for data points stream via stdin:
command for above graph
ping -i.2 google.com | grep -oP '(?<=time=).*(?=ms)' --line-buffered | asciigraph -r -h 10 -w 40 -c "realtime plot data (google ping in ms) from stdin"Example of multi-series real-time graph for data points stream via stdin:
command for above graph
{unbuffer paste -d, <(ping -i 0.4 google.com | sed -u -n -E 's/.*time=(.*)ms.*/\1/p') <(ping -i 0.4 duckduckgo.com | sed -u -n -E 's/.*time=(.*)ms.*/\1/p') } | asciigraph -r -h 15 -w 60 -sn 2 -sc "blue,red" -c "Ping Latency Comparison" -sl "Google, DuckDuckGo"This package started as golang port of asciichart.
