gpview

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

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

USAGE

The first command form is 

    % gpview [options] gturl1 gturl2 gturl3 ...

where the format of the gturl is

    path@varname[,dimname=pos1[:pos2[:thinning_intv]][,dimname=...]]

The second commnad form is 

    % gpview --var url [options] gtfile1 gtfile2 ...

where the format of the url is 

    varname[,dimname=pos1[:pos2[:thinning_intv]][,dimname=...]]
