NAME¶

gpsplot - tool to dynamically dump plot data from gpsd

SYNOPSIS¶

gpsplot [-?] [--count COUNT] [--debug LVL] [--device DEVICE] [--fields FIELDS] [--file FILE] [--help] [--host HOST] [--plottype PLOTTYPE] [--port PORT] [--seconds SECONDS] [--units UNITS] [--version] [-D LVL] [-h] [-n COUNT] [-u UNITS] [-V] [-x SECONDS] [server [:port [:device]]]

DESCRIPTION¶

gpsplot is a tool to connect to gpsd and dynamically plot data to the users screen. Plot types include scatterplots and stripcharts.

Plotting requires the Python Matplot lib module, and its many dependencies be installed on the display host, but not on the host that is running the gpsd instance.

OPTIONS¶

-?, -h, --help

-d LVL, --debug LVL

--device DEVICE

--fields FIELDS

--file FILE

--host HOST

--plottype PLOTTYPE

-n COUNT, --count COUNT

-p PORT, --port PORT

-V, --version

-x SECONDS, --seconds SECONDS

EXAMPLES¶

Generate a scatterplot of Latitude, Longitude and the Altitude above Mean Sea Level (altMSL). Stop after 60 seconds:

gpsplot --seconds 60 --fields llm


   

Generate a scatterplot of Latitude, Longitude and the Height Above Ellipsoid (altHAE). Stop after 60 fixes:

gpsplot --count 60 --plottype stripchart


   

Generate a scatterplot locally of Latitude, Longitude and altMSL from a remote gpsd instannce at host "example.com" and the remote device "/dev/ttyS0". Stop after 60 fixes:

gpsplot --count 60 --fields llm example.com::/dev/ttyS0
