Usage#

usage: data_visualizer.py [-h] [-b] [-c CHAN] -f FILE [--freq FREQ] [-l] [-m]
                          [-x XLIM] [--rev REV] [-s] [-a]

Optional app description

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b, --baseline        Plots MCA spectra
  -c CHAN, --chan CHAN  The channel that you'd like to plot.
  -f FILE, --file FILE  The file containing the data to read.
