Kitcat 2.0 – A Matplotlib back end for terminal plotting

Kitcat 2.0 is a Matplotlib backend that renders plots directly in the terminal using Unicode characters and ANSI colors, targeting developers and data scientists who work in headless environments or prefer command-line workflows. It eliminates the need for a GUI or file output, enabling real-time, interactive plotting within the terminal. This is interesting because it bridges the gap between powerful Python visualization and the simplicity of terminal-based tools, making data exploration more accessible in constrained or remote setups.
