pynglex - a script for running PyNGL/PyNIO examples

The pynglex command copies and runs PyNGL/PyNIO examples in your local directory. These examples demonstrate how to use PyNGL and PyNIO functions in a variety of ways. You can view a gallery of all the pynglex examples that create visualizations.

Execpt in those few cases where an example generates, by way of illustration, output in a specific format, the examples generate PostScript output with the file name being the same as the example name with a ".ps" appended. The pynglex script has a flag that allows you to specify any of the available output formats.

Here is a description of how to use pynglex:
