![Licence](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL-brightgreen)

Generation of graphs according to the frequency of apparition of characters in a file. Can be used for cracking mono-alphabetical substitution encryption.

## Usage

```Shell

options :

	-file 

		file which will be analysed

	-output 

		name of the output graph (default: graph.png)

	-layout 

		alpha : alphabetical order (default)

		asc : ascending order

```

Typical use :

```Shell

$ go run main.go -file text.txt -output graph.png

```

This will analyse `text.txt` and display the results in a graph named `graph.png`. You have to specify the extension of the output (default : PNG).

## Example

Example with *La comédie humaine vol. 1* from Honoré de Balzac, in french :
