Command line options¶
The full set of command line options for metawards-plot is below;
usage: metawards-plot [-h] [--version] [-c CONFIG] [-i [INPUT [INPUT ...]]]

[--dpi DPI] [--delay DELAY] [--ordering ORDERING]
MetaWards simple plotting program - see https://metawards.org for more
information. Args that start with '--' (eg. --version) can also be set in a
config file (specified via -c). Config file syntax allows: key=value,
flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi).
If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values
override config file values which override defaults.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version Print the version information about metawards-plot
(default: None)
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG

these command line options. (default: None)
-i [INPUT [INPUT ...]], --input [INPUT [INPUT ...]]
Full path to the 'results.csv.bz2' file that you want

-a [ANIMATE [ANIMATE ...]], --animate [ANIMATE [ANIMATE ...]]

together into an animated gif (default: None)
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT

--format FORMAT Desired format of the graphs that are produced. Good
formats are 'pdf' for publication graphics and 'png'
or 'jpeg' for webpages (default: jpg)
--align-axes Whether to align the axes of all graphs so that they
are all plotted on the same scale (default true)
(default: None)
--no-align-axes Disable alignment of the axes of graphs. Each graph
will be drawn using its own scale (default: None)
--dpi DPI Resolution to use when creating bitmap outputs, e.g.
jpg, png etc. (default: 150)
--delay DELAY The delay in milliseconds between animation frames if
an animation is being produced (default: 500)
--ordering ORDERING Ordering to use for the frames. This can be
