GGOBI(1)

📦 version 2.1.11, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 GGOBI — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ggobi(1) page, manual section 1, general commands manual energy. buckle up, we're looking at high-dimensional data and we're doing it cutely. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ggobi — a whole visualization system for high-dimensional data. yes. that's the name. it slays.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ggobi [options]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. she takes options, she does the thing, periodt. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so ggobi is a data visualization system for viewing high-dimensional data, and lowkey it's the next edition of xgobi(1). like, the glow-up edition. the main character sequel. 👑

🧚 OPTIONS 🧚

ggobi accepts the following options, and bestie, there are a lot of them, so let's go one by one, no skipping, we're not that kind of girl:

  • --activeColorScheme, -activeColorScheme — the name of the default color scheme to use 🎨
  • -ascii — use the xgobi-style ASCII data mode. old school, iconic, we respect her
  • ---colorSchemes, -colorSchemes — the name of the XML file containing color scheme descriptions
  • --datamode, -datamode — specify the datamode for plugins 🔌
  • --help — display help on the console. when in doubt, ask for help, that's growth 💖
  • ---init — name of initialization file
  • -keepalive — do not terminate if no GGobi windows are open. she stays. she persists. she's loyal 🫶
  • -mysql — ignored, see the --datamode option. yeah she's just there, chilling, doing nothing, an absolute icon of doing nothing 💀
  • -noinit — do not read any initialization files. no setup, no ceremony, raw dogging it
  • --plugin — name of XML file for single plugin
  • --restore, -restore — restore a previously saved GGobi session 🌈
  • -s — use S (i.e. either GNU R, or S-Plus) as the data mode
  • --silent, -silent — display little or no diagnostic output. she's quiet. mysterious. 🤫
  • -validate — validate XML datasets during input. checking her work, as she should ✅
  • -v, -V, --verbose, -verbose — display verbose diagnostic output on console. the opposite of silent, the yapper era 🗣️
  • --version, -version — display version information
  • -xml — use XML data format
ngl, those triple-dash ones (---colorSchemes, ---init) are exactly as written in the original, bestie. type them exactly. do not "fix" them. they are not typos, they are quirks, and quirks are what make a program interesting. 💅
