Get your daily dose of code here!

How to make a simple 'press enter to continue' - "complex"?
You add options Smilie
Code:
	press() { # [-c -l -r] [STR]
	# Requires the user to press [Enter/Return] before script continues
	# c=center ,l=left , r=right
		# Vars
		local mode=""
		# Catch arguments
		for opt in "${@}"
		do	if [[ "-" == "${opt:0:1}" ]] 
			then	case "${opt/-}" in
				"c")	mode="center"
					shift
					;;
				"l")	mode="left"
					shift
					;;
				"r")	mode="right"
					shift
					;;
				esac
			fi
		done
	# Display	
		case "$mode" in
		"center")
			printl "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" "" 
			;;
		"left")
			printl "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}"
			;;
		"right")
			printl "" "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" 
			;;
		*)
			printl "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}"
			;;
		esac
	# Action :p	
		builtin read
	}

Oh it will be so fun when/once I add/ed 'kiosk'-mode to several functions Smilie

NAME
plbin - Plot a histogram from binned data SYNOPSIS
plbin(nbin, x, y, opt) DESCRIPTION
Plots a histogram consisting of nbin bins. The value associated with the i'th bin is placed in x[i], and the number of points in the bin is placed in y[i]. For proper operation, the values in x[i] must form a strictly increasing sequence. By default, x[i] is the left-hand edge of the i'th bin. If opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED is used, the bin boundaries are placed midway between the values in the x array. Also see plhist(3plplot) for drawing histograms from unbinned data. Redacted form: General: plbin(x, y, opt) Perl/PDL: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt) Python: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt) This function is not used in any examples. ARGUMENTS
nbin (PLINT, input) Number of bins (i.e., number of values in x and y arrays.) x (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to array containing values associated with bins. These must form a strictly increasing sequence. y (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to array containing number of points in bin. This is a PLFLT (instead of PLINT) array so as to allow histograms of proba- bilities, etc. opt (PLINT, input) Is a combination of several flags: opt=PL_BIN_DEFAULT: The x represent the lower bin boundaries, the outer bins are expanded to fill up the entire x-axis and bins of zero height are simply drawn. opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED|...: The bin boundaries are to be midway between the x values. If the values in x are equally spaced, the values are the center values of the bins. opt=PL_BIN_NOEXPAND|...: The outer bins are drawn with equal size as the ones inside. opt=PL_BIN_NOEMPTY|...: Bins with zero height are not drawn (there is a gap for such bins).
