Metadata analyzer and visualizer

MetaStalk is a tool that can be used to generate graphs from the metadata of JPEG, TIFF, and HEIC images, which are tested. More formats are supported but untested. It currently creates graphs for:
Examples photos from ianare/exif-samples, exiftool, drewmpales/metadata-extractor-images.
All development is done on GitLab and mirrored to GitHub. Please read contributing.md for development.
Python 3.6 and up.
MetaStalk is available as a package on pypi.org or you can do a source install.
