NAME

gpview - quick viewer for the values of a variable specified by a gtool4-type URL.

for 1-dimensional variable, make line plot.
for 2-dimensional variable, make contour/tone plot.
for 3/more-dimensional variable, make contour/tone plot, select first 2D. possible to make animation.

operation of the specified math function on the data. <math_func> should be a math function with one argument such as log10, sqrt, sin, etc.

--time_ax [nil|false|h|ymd]:

specify type of calendar-type time axis:

nil   (=> auto slection)
false (=> do not use the time axis even if 
          the units of the axis is a time one with since field)
"h"   (=> like nil, but always use the hour-resolving datetime_ax method
          in dclext_datetime_ax.rb)
"ymd" (=> like "h" but for y-m-d type using DCL.uc[xy]acl)
