NAME

       gpsplot - tool to dynamically dump plot data from gpsd

SYNOPSIS

       gpsplot [-?] [--count COUNT] [--debug LVL] [--device DEVICE] [--fields FIELDS]
               [--file FILE] [--help] [--host HOST] [--plottype PLOTTYPE] [--port PORT]
               [--seconds SECONDS] [--units UNITS] [--version] [-D LVL] [-h] [-n COUNT]
               [-u UNITS] [-V] [-x SECONDS] [server [:port [:device]]]

DESCRIPTION

       gpsplot is a tool to connect to gpsd and dynamically plot data to the users screen. Plot
       types include scatterplots and stripcharts.

       Plotting requires the Python Matplot lib module, and its many dependencies be installed on
       the display host, but not on the host that is running the gpsd instance.

OPTIONS

       -?, -h, --help
           Print a usage message and exit.

       -d LVL, --debug LVL
           Set debug level to LVL.

       --device DEVICE
           The DEVICE on the gpsd to connect to. Defaults to all.

       --fields FIELDS
           The code for the fields to plot. FIELDS is one of: llh (lat/lon/altHAE) or llm
           (lat/lon/altMSL).

       --file FILE
           Read JSON from FILE instead of from gpsd..

       --host HOST
           Connect to the gpsd on HOST (server). Defaults to localhost.

       --plottype PLOTTYPE
           The type of plot to make. PLOTTYPE is one of 'scatterplot' or'stripchart'.

       -n COUNT, --count COUNT
           Exit after COUNT plot messages.

       -p PORT, --port PORT
           Use PORT to connect to gpsd. Defaults to 2947.

       -V, --version
           Print the program version and exit.

       -x SECONDS, --seconds SECONDS
           Wait for SECONDS seconds before exiting. Set to zero to diable. Default 0.

EXAMPLES

       Generate a scatterplot of Latitude, Longitude and the Altitude above Mean Sea Level
       (altMSL). Stop after 60 seconds:

           gpsplot --seconds 60 --fields llm

       Generate a scatterplot of Latitude, Longitude and the Height Above Ellipsoid (altHAE).
       Stop after 60 fixes:

           gpsplot --count 60 --plottype stripchart

       Generate a scatterplot locally of Latitude, Longitude and altMSL from a remote gpsd
       instannce at host "example.com" and the remote device "/dev/ttyS0". Stop after 60 fixes:

           gpsplot --count 60 --fields llm example.com::/dev/ttyS0
