For all those times you wanted a quick & dirty way to watch your data come in. This is indeed ugly, but hopefully fast, and so not particularly configurable. stripchart creates a FIFO, pops up an X window, and waits for input. ASCII numbers delimited with endlines ('\n') are plotted in the window, until an unparsable number is recieved, at which point, the window closes and stripchart returns. See test.sh for an example. stripchart.c implements the stripchart. stripchart.h provides an interface to the stripchart defined in stripchart.c. strip.c uses the stripchart.[hc] to plot data it reads in from a named pipe.
