GPIV_VORTY(1) General Commands Manual GPIV_VORTY(1)NAME
gpiv_vorty - Calculates the differential quantities vorticity, shear strain and normal strain from PIV data.
SYNOPSIS
gpiv_vorty [-d N] [-h | --help] [-p | --print] [-g | --g] [--no_g ] [-v | --version] [filename] < stdin > stdout
DESCRIPTION
gpiv_vorty calculates the differential quantities like vorticity, shear strain and normal strain from PIV data. You can choose from several
differential schemes: central differentiation, least squares, Richardson extrapolation and circulation method. Circulation method only
allows one to calculate vorticity, but no strain. The output can be generated as ASCII data containing four columns or as GNUPlot Data for-
mat that allows one to view/print the data as contour plots.
The configuration parameters (containing the POST key) may be overruled by the command line options, as explained below.
Options-d N Differential type to be used: central difference (N=0), least squares (N=1), Richardson interpolation (N=2), circulation method
(N=3)
-h | --help
On-line help
-p | --print
Print parameters, command line options and eventually used input and output filenames to stdout. The output is identic of file-
name.par, in case filename is used.
-g Show contour plot of the output with gnuplot.
--no_g Suppresses to show contour plot of the output with gnuplot.
-v | --version
Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.
filename
Input PIV data file. Overrides stdin and stdout. The output will be written to filename.vor. Parameters are stored in filename.par
and may be used for future use by including them in ./gpivrc.

GPIV_VHISTO(1) General Commands Manual GPIV_VHISTO(1)NAME
gpiv_vhisto - Tests PIV data by printing/displaying an histogram of the vertical particle displacements.
SYNOPSIS
gpiv_vhisto [-g] [-h | --help] [-n N] [-p | --print] [-v | --version] [filename] < stdin > stdout
DESCRIPTION
Gpiv_vhisto calculates the histogram of the vertical particle displacement distribution between minimum and maximum values.
The parameters read from the configuration resources (containing the key VALID) may be overruled by the command line options, as explained
below.
Options-g Graphical visualization of the histogram with gnuplot.
-h | --help
On-line help
-n N Override number of bins (default 10, hard coded).
-p | --print
Print parameters, command line options and eventually used input and output filenames to stdout. The output is identic of file-
name.par, in case -f is used.
-v | --version
Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.
filename
Input PIV file. Overrides stdin and stdout. Output will be written to filename.pdf. The parameters will be written or appended to
filename.par and may be used for future use by including them in ./gpivrc.

gpivtools
NOTES
stdin and stdout has still to be implemented. [-f filename ] will be added.

BUGS
The program seems to work fine with real PIV data. So far, no serious bugs have been found.

I'm running a simulation (programmed in C) which makes calls to gnuplot periodically to plot data I have stored.
First I open a pipe to gnuplot and set it to multiplot:
FILE * pipe = popen("gnuplot", "w");
fprintf(pipe, "set multiplot\n");
fflush(pipe);
(this pipe stays open until the... (0 Replies)
I`m having a cluster with Rocks 5.2 distribution and I want to solve differential equations and I`m interested to know if are some programs already developed to do this. (3 Replies)
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
I want to read in a file, and plot the data in matlab. However, I do not like hardwiring filenames into my codes, so I always give the user the option to specify what the filename is. I am pretty inexperienced with matlab, so I have no... (0 Replies)
Hello,
I have a file with two columns (I uploaded it because it is some 500K):
File-Upload.net - data.dat
If you plot the data with, say, gnuplot,
plot 'data.dat' u 1:2 w l
you will see that there are jumps. This is actually an orbit and a maximum corresponds to an apocenter and a... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have been struggling for quite past few days to make or generate graphs using a loop in the GNUPLOT.
I am trying to generate a contour plot using "splot" command in gnuplot. I am able to do for a single file successfully. But i am unable to make it work for more number of files using a... (2 Replies)
