Veusz - a scientific plotting and graphing application.
veusz [options] [document.vsz]...
Veusz is a scientific plotting and graphing package. It is
designed to create publication-ready output in a variety of different output
formats. Graphs are built-up combining plotting widgets. Veusz has a GUI
user interface (started with the "veusz"
command), a Python module interface and a scripting interface.
If started without command line arguments, Veusz will open
up with a new empty document. The program will otherwise open the listed
documents.
- --unsafe-mode
- Do not check opened scripts for the presence of unsafe Python commands.
This allows you to create or open complete Python scripts with Veusz
commands if they come from a trusted source.
- --listen
- Read Veusz commands from stdin, executing them, then writing the results
to stdout. This option replaces the old veusz_listen.
In this mode Veusz does not read any input documents, but will
use the first argument to the program as the window title, if given.
- --quiet
- If in listening mode, do not open a window before running commands, but
execute them quietly.
- --export=FILE
- Export the next Veusz document file on the command line to the graphics
file FILE. Supported file types include EPS, PDF, SVG, PNG, BMP,
JPG and XPM. The extension of the output file is used to determine the
output file format. There should be as many export options specified as
input Veusz documents on the command line.
- --export-option=OPT
- Adds the option given when exporting. Supported options are dpi=DPI
giving the resolution for bitmap output files (default 100),
color=True/False to switch to monochrome output (default True),
page=[X,...] gives a list of pages to export (default [0]), where
the page numbers are numbered from 0, antialias=True/False enables or
disables antialiasing in bitmap output files (default True),
quality=VAL gives the JPEG quality value (default 85),
backcolor='#RRGGBBAA' gives the background color of bitmap files
(default '#ffffff00'), pdfdpi=DPI gives the DPI when outputting to
PDF files (default 150) and svgtextastext=True/False outputs text in SVG
files as text, rather than as curves (default False).
- --plugin=FILE
- Loads the Veusz plugin FILE when starting Veusz. This option
provides a per-session alternative to adding the plugin in the preferences
dialog box.
- --help
- Displays the options to the program and exits.
- --version
- Displays information about the currently installed version and exits.
