<# .SYNOPSIS Draws graph in the Powershell console .DESCRIPTION Consumes datapoints and draws colored coded fully customizable graph in the Powershell console .PARAMETER Datapoints Array of data points which is to be plotted on the graph .PARAMETER XAxisTitle Defines text label on x-axis .PARAMETER YAxisTitle Defines text label on x-axis .PARAMETER GraphTitle Title of the graph .PARAMETER XAxisStep Define value of step on x-axis .PARAMETER YAxisStep Define value of step on y-axis .PARAMETER Type Choose type of the graph [bar, line, scatter] .PARAMETER ColorMap Hash table that defines the range of color codes .PARAMETER HorizontalLines Add horizontal lines to the graph area .EXAMPLE $data = 1..100 | Get-Random -Count 50 Show-Graph -Datapoints $Data -GraphTitle 'CPU' .EXAMPLE $data = 1..100 | Get-Random -Count 50 Show-Graph -Datapoints $Data -Type Line .EXAMPLE $data = 1..100 | Get-Random -Count 50 Show-Graph -Datapoints $Data -Type Scatter .EXAMPLE $data = 1..100 | Get-Random -Count 50 Show-Graph -Datapoints $Data -YAxisTitle "Percentage" -XAxistitle "Time" .NOTES Blog: https://RidiCurious.com/ Github: https://github.com/PrateekKumarSingh/Graphical Author: https://twitter.com/SinghPrateik Features and Benefits: - Independent of PowerShell version, and Works on PowerShell Core (Windows\Linux) - Color-coded output depending upon the Value of data point - Colors codes can be customized by passing a color-map hash table - Custom X an Y-Axis labels - Graph in console is independent and fully customizable, not like Task Manager (Performance Tab) - Could be incorporated in Powershell scripts - Can consume data points generated during script run or Pre stored data like in a file or database. #> Function Show-Graph { [cmdletbinding()] [alias("Graph")] Param( # Parameter help description [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline)] [int[]] $Datapoints, [String] $XAxisTitle, [String] $YAxisTitle, [String] $GraphTitle = 'Untitled', [ValidateScript({ if($_ -le 5){ Throw "Can not set XAxisStep less than or equals to 5" } else{ $true } })] [Int] $XAxisStep = 10, [Int] $YAxisStep = 10, [ValidateSet("Bar","Scatter","Line")] [String] $Type = 'Bar', [Hashtable] $ColorMap, [Switch] $HorizontalLines ) # graph boundary marks $TopLeft = [char]9484 $BottomLeft = [char]9492 $TopRight = [char]9488 $BottomRight = [char]9496 $VerticalEdge = [char]9474 $TopEdge = $BottomEdge = [char]9472 # Calculate Max, Min and Range of Y axis $NumOfDatapoints = $Datapoints.Count $Metric = $Datapoints | Measure-Object -Maximum -Minimum $EndofRange = $Metric.Maximum + ($YAxisStep -
