The rytools is a set of command-line utilities distributed with Rayon. They provide basic visualization capabilities at the command line, for users who either prefer to spend most of their time in command-line environments or produce (semi-)automated reporting on Unix systems.
The rytools are part of a suite of analysis tools created by the CERT Coordination Center to enable computer network situational awareness. Other such tools include SiLK and YAF.
Full documentation for Rayon is available from the Rayon documentation website. There are also several manual pages outlining the use of the rytools.
The following tools comprise the rytools suite:
- ryscatterplot
- Scatterplot visualization.
- rycategories
- Visualize categorical data (principally with barplots)
- rytimeseries
- Visualize time-series data
- ryhilbert
- Plot data on a Hilbert curve
- rypiechart
- Visualize data in pie charts
