CLI Reference

Command

jplot <file.yaml> [options]

<file.yaml> is the plotting config file. In normal use this is the only argument you need.

Options

Option	Purpose
-v, --version	Print the installed JarvisPLOT version
-d, --debug	Run in debug mode with detailed pipeline logs
--parse-data	Inspect the datasets (CSV/HDF5), sanitize column names, and write the discovered Variables/ColumnMap back into the YAML
--out PATH	Where to write the parsed YAML (used with --parse-data)
--inplace	Rewrite the input YAML in place (used with --parse-data)
--print	Disable the Jarvis logo panel (axlogo) in the output figure
--rebuild-cache	Ignore and rebuild <workdir>/.cache before plotting

Typical usage

# Normal run
jplot ./bin/GM95excess.yaml

# Inspect what went wrong in a pipeline
jplot ./bin/SUSYRun2_EWMSSM.yaml --debug

# Force a clean redraw after the source data changed
jplot ./bin/EggBox_Dynesty_06.yaml --rebuild-cache

# Discover HDF5 column names and write them back into the YAML
jplot ./bin/SUSYRun2_EWMSSM.yaml --parse-data --out parsed.yaml

Guidance

• Start with a plain run; only add flags when you need them.
• Use --debug when a transform or layer does not behave as expected.
• Use --rebuild-cache only when you intentionally want to invalidate cached preprocessing (for example, the source file was regenerated). See Cache for what is cached and when it is reused.
