by GGobi and a brief description of each.
display help on the console

use S (R or S-Plus) as the data mode
|
ascii |

|
validate |
activate validation mode when reading XML input.
This is only supported if configured with support
for XML.
validate XML datasets during input
|
v | |

to the console indicating what it is currently doing.
This is useful for debugging.
display verbose diagnostic output on console
|
V | |
silent |
set the diagnostic output to off so that very few
messages are printed to the screen.

|
init |
specify the name of the initialization file
from which to read preferences, available plugins,
etc.

|
noinit |
specifies that no initialization file should be used.

which to read the session-wide colorschemes to use within GGobi.

can also be used to identify a particular input plugin
by giving its modeName
value.

|
keepalive |
toggles whether to quit when there are no GGobi
instances remaining.
By default, this is true. So specifying this argument
turns it off and means that the GGobi session
will persist eventhough there are no GGobis and
no way for the user to interact with the session
via a GUI. This is for use
when embedding GGobi within other applications
and/or languages, e.g. RSggobi
don't terminate if no GGobi windows are open
