Consider adding chart to klog report command

[noelzubin]

I was wondering if anyone else considered having this enhancement, where we could show an ascii graph in klog report.

Currently i use a external script along with klog json, some preprocessing + asciigraph cli to render my report charts. Perhaps if enough people are interested we could consider adding this to klog cli itself ?

Could you share a screenshot of your rendered chart? I’d be curious to see how it looks.

I’m wondering, whether it would be both easier and more fitting to try to provide a bar chart mode for the klog report command, roughly like the following:

$ klog report --chart time.klg
                       Total
2025 Jan    Mon 13.    ████████████  (12h)
            Tue 14.    ████████      (7h)
            Thu 16.    ████████████▎ (12h15m)
            Fri 17.    █████▏        (5h20m)
            Mon 20.    ██████████▊   (9h45m)
            Wed 22.    ███████████▌  (10h30m)

I’m thinking that this orientation might be easier to read, and it probably also would be relatively straightforward to integrate into the code.

oh. yes . this looks neat.

I was wondering if we could add an option to fill in missing values, ie show 0mins for days with no entries ?

For the klog report command, there is a --fill option, that fills in all missing calendar dates between the first and the last record of the input data.
