More fun with awk

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ls -l $@ | awk '
/^-/ {
l = 5*log($5)
h = sprintf("%7d %-72s",$5,$8)
print "\x1B[7m" substr(h,1,l) "\x1B[27m" substr(h,l+1)
}
'

ls command with histogram of file sizes.
The histogram scale is logaritmic, to avoid very short bars for smaller files or very long bars for bigger files.

NAME
gsl-histogram - compute histogram of data on stdin SYNOPSYS
gsl-histogram xmin xmax [n] DESCRIPTION
gsl-histogram is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library. It takes three arguments, specifying the upper and lower bounds of the histogram and the number of bins. It then reads numbers from `stdin', one line at a time, and adds them to the histogram. When there is no more data to read it prints out the accumulated histogram using gsl_histogram_fprintf. If n is unspecified then bins of inte- ger width are used. EXAMPLE
Here is an example. We generate 10000 random samples from a Cauchy distribution with a width of 30 and histogram them over the range -100 to 100, using 200 bins. gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > histogram.dat A plot of the resulting histogram will show the familiar shape of the Cauchy distribution with fluctuations caused by the finite sample size. awk '{print $1, $3 ; print $2, $3}' histogram.dat | graph -T X SEE ALSO
