optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             Print the version information about metawards-plot
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Full path to the 'results.csv.bz2' file that you want
                        to quickly plot.
  -a [ANIMATE [ANIMATE ...]], --animate [ANIMATE [ANIMATE ...]]
                        Full path to the set of plots that you want to animate
                        together into an animated gif
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Location for the output. By default this is inferred
                        from the input
  --format FORMAT       Desired format of the graphs that are produced. Good
                        formats are 'pdf' for publication graphics and 'png'
                        or 'jpeg' for webpages
  --align-axes          Whether to align the axes of all graphs so that they
                        are all plotted on the same scale (default true)
  --no-align-axes       Disable alignment of the axes of graphs. Each graph
                        will be drawn using its own scale
  --dpi DPI             Resolution to use when creating bitmap outputs, e.g.
                        jpg, png etc.
  --delay DELAY         The delay in milliseconds between animation frames if
                        an animation is being produced
  --ordering ORDERING   Ordering to use for the frames. This can be
                        fingerprint, filename or custom
