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
               outputting to PDF files (default 150) and svgtextastext=True/False outputs text in SVG  files  as
               text, rather than as curves (default False).

       --veusz-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.
