=head1 NAME

plotframes - Plot video frame sizes using ffprobe and gnuplot

=head1 SYNOPSIS

plotframes [I<options>] [I<input>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

plotframes reads a multimedia files with ffprobe, and plots the
collected video sizes with gnuplot.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<--input|-i> I<infile>

Specify multimedia file to read. This is the file passed to the
ffprobe command. If not specified it is the first argument passed to
the script.

=item B<--help|--usage|-h|-?>

Print a brief help message and exit.

=item B<--manpage|-m>

Print the man page.

=item B<--output|-o> I<outfile>

Set the name of the output used by gnuplot. If not specified no output
is created. Must be used in conjunction with the B<terminal> option.

=item B<--stream|--s> I<stream_specifier>

Specify stream. The value must be a string containing a stream
specifier. Default value is "v".

=item B<--terminal|-t> I<terminal>

Set the name of the terminal used by gnuplot. By default it is
"x11". Must be used in conjunction with the B<output> option. Check
the gnuplot manual for the valid values.
