# kitcat
This project introduces a new `kitcat` backend for Matplotlib that allows plots to be displayed directly in the terminal. It utilizes the "agg" backend for rendering plots before sending them to the terminal.
- Direct Matplotlib plotting in terminal emulators that support [Kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/) or [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html) graphics protocols.
- Works seamlessly over SSH.

## Terminal Emulator Support
Not all terminal emulators support Kitty or iTerm2 graphics protocols. I haven't done extensive testing, so please let me know if you find other emulators that are compatible, and I will update the list accordingly.
| Terminal Emulator | Supported | Notes |
| -------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Kitty | ✅ | |
| iTerm2 | ✅ | |
| VSCode | ✅ | Requires `terminal.integrated.enableImages` in settings |
| WezTerm | ✅ | |
| tmux | ✅ | Requires `allow-passthrough on` in tmux config |
| Zellij | ❌ | |
| Alacritty | ❌ | |
| Warp | ❌ | |
| Terminal.app (macOS) | ❌ | |
| wayst | ✅ | |
## Installation
```
pip install kitcat
```
## Usage
Select `kitcat` backend after importing matplotlib:
```py
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("kitcat")
```
## Acknowledgements
I discovered [matplotlib-backend-kitty](https://github.com/jktr/matplotlib-backend-kitty) repository, which provides similar functionality in Kitty. I aimed to create a simpler solution that works across any terminal supporting the protocol.
