NAME

       Veusz - a scientific plotting and graphing application.

SYNOPSIS

       veusz [options] [document.vsz]...

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       --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
               outputing 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.
