ctioga2 \- a command-line front-end for the Tioga plotting library
33
is a command-line front-end to the wonderful Tioga plotting
34
library. It aims at plotting quickly both data files and mathematical
35
functions, with however the possibility of a high control over the

The main feature that was introduced compared to the old
40
is that it is now possible to use command files for
42
every single command-line option corresponds to a command, whose name
43
is written. Just give the command the same arguments as to the
44
command-line option. To read a command file, feed it to the

Here are a few examples, both from command-line and using the
54
.BI ctioga2 \ File.dat
55
Produces a file \fIPlot.pdf\fR showing the second column of File.dat
56
as a function of the first.
59
The corresponding command file would be:
61
#!/usr/bin/env ctioga2 -f
74
Most of the commands accept one or more arguments, which have
75
different types. Here are the meanings of those types.
79
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
81
If the environment variables
85
are set, they are split into words according to shell rules (see the
86
Shellwords.shellwords ruby function for more information) and
87
prepended or appended to the command-line arguments. They don't leave
88
any trace in the actual command-line (so, for instance,
90
won't be aware of them).

The original tarball includes an
