Speedpad dumps stats in machine-readable format. This can be used to visualize your progress using tools like gnuplot(1). You can append to a single stats file to analyze your progress over multiple sessions, or merge multiple stats dumps using something like sort -n stats1 stats2 stats3 > stats.

The stats dump provides the following space-separated fields:

started stopped elapsed len pos lines enter tab space good typo total cps cpm wpm ppm cph

Gnuplot examples

See http://www.gnuplot.info/ for the full documentation. Feel free to contribute more examples! :-)

Speed for all records

gnuplot -p -e "set xlabel 'round';
               set ylabel 'speed';
               set grid;
               plot 'stats' using 15 smooth sbezier title 'wpm'"

Speed development over time

gnuplot -p -e "set xdata time;
               set timefmt '%s';
               set format x '%m/%d';
               set xlabel 'date';
               set ylabel 'speed';
               set grid;
               plot 'stats' using 1:15 smooth sbezier title 'wpm'"

Speed in relation to elapsed typing time

gnuplot -p -e "set xlabel 'typing time';
               set ylabel 'speed';
               set grid;
               plot 'stats' using 3:15 smooth sbezier title 'wpm'"

Typos in relation to speed

gnuplot -p -e "set xlabel 'speed';
               set ylabel 'typos';
               set grid;
               plot 'stats' using 15:11 smooth sbezier title 'typos'"
