FontPreview: Search and Preview fonts using the terminal

The fuzzy search feature is provided by fzf and the preview is generated with imagemagick and then displayed using sxiv. This tool is highly customizable, almost all of the variables in this tool can be changed using the commandline flags or you can configure them using environment variables.

xdotool
fzf
imagemagick
sxiv

 # Clone the repo  
 $ git clone https://github.com/sdushantha/fontpreview  
   
 # Change your current directory to fontpreview  
 $ cd fontpreview  
   
 # Install it  
 $ sudo make install

Install it locally

 # Download the fontpreview source code, save as fontpreview  
 # and make it executeable  
 $ curl -L https://git.io/raw_fontpreview > fontpreview && chmod +x fontpreview  
   
 # Then move fontpreview to somewhere in your $PATH  
 # Here is an example  
 $ mv fontpreview ~/scripts/

Usage

If you want to generate a preview image for a single font file (.otf, .ttf, and .woff are supported), use the `-i` and `-o` option to indicate the filename of the input font and the output preview image.

 $ fontpreview -i font.otf -o preview.png

This can be used with überzug to implement font preview within terminal file managers such as vifm.

Entity Relationship Diagrams An entity relationship diagram (ERD) is a common way to view data in a database. Below is the ERD for the database we will use from Parch & Posey. These diagrams help you visualize the data you are analyzing including: The names of the tables. The columns in each table. The way the tables work together. You can think of each of the boxes below as a spreadsheet. What to Notice In the Parch & Posey database there are five tables (essentially 5 spreadsheets): web_events accounts orders sales_reps region You can think of each of these tables as an individual spreadsheet. Then the columns in each spreadsheet are listed below the table name. For example, the region table has two columns: id and name . Alternatively the web_events table has four columns. The "crow's foot" that connects the tables together shows us how the columns in one table relate to the columns in another table. In this first lesson, you will be learning the bas

(Easy)Getting Started With R - Gapminder Dataset Part 1(Free Tutorial)

This guide will get you started on the path to exploring and visualizing your own data with the R programming language. It introduces you to the tidyverse which is a collection of data science tools within R for transforming and visualizing data. This is not the only set of tools in R, but it's a powerful and popular approach for exploring data. At every step, you'll be analyzing a real dataset called gapminder. Gapminder tracks economic and social indicators like life expectancy and the GDP per capita of countries over time. The experience you gain on this example will help you in analyzing your own data. You'll learn to draw specific insights and communicate them through informative visualizations with the ggplot2 package. The first code you'll write is to load two R packages, which is done by writing library(packagename). R packages are tools that aren't built into the language, but were created later by other programmers. Each of them provides tools
