-c column_index
	You can use this parameter several times and you must use it as many times than column_title parameter.
	column_index starts at one.
-e
	Erase existing data file.
	Non-erase (append) mode by default.
-f data_file
	data_file will contain data to be plotted.
	If you omit this parameter, a temporary data file (provided by mktemp command) will be used.
-h
	This short help message.
-p
	Enable data producer.
	Disabled by default.
-r refresh_rate_value
	Refresh rate (in seconds) for plotting data.
	One second by default.
-t column_title
	You can use this parameter several times and you must use it as many times than column_index parameter.
	Title used as name for plotting data.
