💖 voa3DPlot — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🪑 because this is voa3DPlot, a page from the User Manuals collection, and it's genuinely one of my faves. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

voa3DPlot — plot the contents of VOACAP output files in a 3D format 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

voa3DPlot [options] file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

voa3DPlot is a python script and its whole entire job — its main character moment, if you will — is to graphically display the contents of output files produced by VOACAP. that's it. that's the gig. and it ate. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — shows you the program version number, then dips. bye 👋
• -h, --help — prints a help message and exits. the classic. we love her. 💜
• -b band, --band=band — displays a band plan, indicated by band, which is an integer value from **1 to 3. here's the decoder ring: 1:SWL, 2:UK AMATEUR BANDS and 3:KSA AMATEUR BANDS. pick your fighter 🥊
• -f max_frequency, --freqmax=max_frequency — specifies the maximum frequency (MHz) to display on the **Y axis. big numbers go up 📈
• -g group, --group=group — specifies the group(s) within a file containing multiple groups to plot. multiple groups **must be separated by commas, e.g. -g 1,3,4. default = 1. so if you don't say anything, you get group 1, and that's that 🫶
• *-l *'label', --label='label' — specifies the text label to be printed as a main title at the top of the plot. yes you can give your graph a little name tag. it deserves one 🏷️✨
• *-m *colourmap, --cmap=colourmap — specifies the colourmap to use. supported colour maps are 'autumn', 'bone', 'cool', 'copper',', 'hot', 'hsv', 'jet', 'pink', 'spring', 'summer', 'winter. default = 'jet'. (and yes, we are reporting that list exactly as it was handed to us — no editing, no touching, periodt 💅)
• *-o *outputfile, --outfile=outputfile — used to specify an output file to save the plot to. your lil creation, preserved forever 🎁
• -q, --quiet — process quietly, don't produce a graph on the screen. 🤫 heads up bestie: this only makes sense when used in conjunction with the -o option. like, if you don't save it anywhere and you don't show it anywhere… where did it go?? nowhere. it's giving nothing. 😭
• -t type, --datatype=type — specifies the type of image to plot. supported image types are **0:None 1:MUFday 2:REL 3:SNR 4:S DBW. default = 1. 🌈
• *-z *timezone, --timezone=timezone — specifies the timezone to shift the plots to. time travel, but make it propagation 🕰️💫
