Description: TimeDiffText and TimeDiffPlot
        =============================
        
        This repository contains two programs, TimeDiffText and TimeDiffPlot. Both take log-files in the form of streams as input. TimeDiffText then outputs the difference in time between log entries, TimeDiffPlot uses Matplotlib, Numpy and Scipy to graph the differences in the log-files. TimeDiffPlot also allows for saving generated graphs into a file. Supported file-formats are _.emf_, _.eps_, _.pdf_, _.png_, _.ps_, _.raw_, _.rgba_, _.svg_ and _.svgz_. Both TimeDiffText and TimeDiffPlot allow any syntax for the time through python [datetime.strftime() and datetime.strptime()](https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior "Syntax for entering time formats"). Formatting presets for bothes time-diff and time-diff-plot can be set in /etc/timediff/timediff.json.
        
        TimeDiffPlot requires Matplotlib, Numpy and Scipy.
        
        TimeDiffText and TimeDiffPlot are both written in python 2.7 and compatile with Mac OSX and Linux.

        Installing TimeDiff
        ===================
        
        TimeDiff can be installed through pip by calling
        
            # pip install timediff
        
        Running TimeDiffText
        ====================
        
        TimeDiff can be run by calling
        
            $ cat <file_to_parse> | timedifftext <arguments>
        
        You may also want to pipe in data from grep
        
            $ grep <data_to_grep> <grep's_args> | timedifftext <arguments>
        
        TimeDiffText can also read a file by given filename.
        
            $ timedifftext <filename> <arguments>
        
        TimeDiff will then output the following
        
            <difference_from_time_of_first_line> <difference_from_time_of_previous_line> <line_processed>
        
        Example of of running TimeDiffText

        Command entered:
        
            $ cat /var/log/messages | timedifftext -F linux1
            
        
        Output:

        Usage of TimeDiffText
        ---------------------
        
            usage: timedifftext  [-h] [--format [FORMAT]] [--format-preset [{linux1,custom1}]]
                                 [--locale [LOCALE]] [--verbose] [--cancel-padding]
                                 [--round-to {s,ms,min,h,d}]
        
            Calculate differences in time of log entries and output them into the console.
        
            optional arguments:
            -h, --help            show this help message and exit
            --format [FORMAT], -f [FORMAT]
                                Sets datetime format options, defaults to
                                "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S" overrides given presets.
            --format-preset [{linux1,custom1}], -F [{linux1,custom1}]
                                Set datetime formatting preset, defaults to custom1.
                                Values are: linux1 -> %b %d %H:%M:%S, custom1 ->
                                %Y%m%d_%H%M%S
            --locale [LOCALE], -l [LOCALE]
                                Sets locale to be used with parsing month and weekday
                                names, defaults to American English (en_US).
            --verbose, -v         Sets program to verbose mode. This will result in
                                loger descriptions of errors being written to the
                                stderr.
            --cancel-padding, -p  Cancels adding zero-padding, eg. without -p 2 would
                                become 02.
            --round-to {s,ms,min,h,d}, -r {s,ms,min,h,d}
                                Sets what time-unit to round to while doing
                                formatting.
        
        Running TimeDiffPlot
        ====================
        
        TimeDiffPlot can be run by calling
        
            $ cat <file_to_parse> | timediffplot <arguments>
        
        You may also want to pipe in data from grep
        
            $ grep <data_to_grep> <grep's_args> | timediffplot <arguments>
        
        TimeDiffPlot can also read a file by given filename.
        
            $ timediffplot <filename> <arguments>
        
        TimeDiffPlot only outputs errors by default. Instead, TimeDiffPlot will open windows and draw graphs using matplotlib. This behaviour can be changed, resulting in TimeDiffPlot rather writing the graphs to disk. Using TimeDiffPlot with logs of over 50 000 lines may take some time.
        
        Usage of TimeDiffPlot
        ---------------------
        
            usage: timediffplot   [-h] [--format [FORMAT]]
                                  [--format-preset [{linux1,custom1}]] [--locale [LOCALE]]
                                  [--verbose] [--cancel-padding] [--logarithmic]
        
            Calculate differences in time of log entries and output them into the console.
        
            optional arguments:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              --format [FORMAT], -f [FORMAT]
                                    Sets datetime format options, overrides given presets.
              --format-preset [{linux1,custom1}], -F [{linux1,custom1}]

                                    %Y%m%d_%H%M%S
              --locale [LOCALE], -l [LOCALE]
                                    Sets locale to be used with parsing month and weekday
                                    names, defaults to American English (en_US).
              --verbose, -v         Sets program to verbose mode. This will result in
                                    loger descriptions of errors being written to the
