gxtran(1)               GrADS  V1.6.beta4               gxtran(1)

NAME
     gxtran - display GrADS metacode format file.

SYNOPSIS
     gxtran [ -airg <infile> ]

DESCRIPTION
     gxtran is used to display GrADS meta files containing single
     frames or animations (multi frames).

     Without any option the user is asked  of  the  name  of  the
     GrADS  meta  file. gxtran waits till the user hits return in
     the command window. To quit gxtran press once  again  return
     in the command window.

OPTIONS
     -i fname       fname ist the name of the meta file.

     -a             animate  the  frames,  i.e.,  do  not   pause
                    between  frames  until the user hits a return
                    in the command window.

     -r             reverse black and white so you get your  plot
                    on white (black) background.

     -g WWWWxHHHH+X+Y
                    set the geometry of the X window as you would
                    do  in  any  other  X  application.  The only
                    difference is the space between -g and  WWWW.
                    The  display  window will be WWWW pixels wide
                    and HHHH pixels tall starting at point X  and
                    Y on the screen.

EXAMPLES
     Example:       example%  gxtran -a -g 800x600+0 -i mytest.mf

                    would open a window of size 800x600  starting
                    at  the  upper  left corner of the screen and
                    animate  all  frames  (plots)  in  the   file
                    mytest.mf.
