orbplot - plot an orbit 
orbplot in=orbit  [parameter=value]
orbplot will plot an orbit. See also snapplot(1NEMO)
, which has
a similar user interface. 
The following parameters are recognized
in any order if the keyword is also given: 
- in=in-file 
- Input file, which
must be an orbit(5NEMO)
. [No default]. 
- times=time-range 
- Only plot the range
of times within time-range, which is of the form "tstart:tend". [default:
all]. 
- nplot=number 
- The stride through the data of the plotted points [default:
1]. 
- xvar=x-expression 
- The value of x-expression is plotted along the X axis.
x-expression is a real-valued C language expression over the real values
x, y, z, vx, vy, vz, phi, t  and thge integer value i. See also snapplot(1NEMO)
.
[Default: x]. (not implemented) 
- xlabel=x-axis-label 
- Label for the X-axis. [default:
expression used for xvar]. 
- xrange=x-axis-range 
- Range of values for the X axis,
specified as a pair of numbers separated by a colon [default: -2.0:2.0]. 
- yvar=y-expression
- See above. The default is y. (not implemented) 
- ylabel=y-axis-label 
- See above.
- yrange=y-axis-range 
- See above. 
- visib=expression 
- Determines the visibility
of points. expression is an  integer expression in the above variables;
only points with  non-zero values are plotted. [default: 1]. (not implemented)
- psize=expression 
- Determines the points type and size. [default 0]. (not implemented)
- maxsteps=num-steps 
- Maximum number of steps allowed for an orbit. [Default:
5000]. 
For xvar= and yvar= currently only the simple variables real
values x, y, z, vx, vy, vz are implemented.
