## Performance
A render of a 600 MB csv file takes about 2 minutes on a 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5. There is still lots of room for improvement on that though. Memory usage is quite horrid.

## Options
```
GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --input, -i      CSV input file generated by rtl_power [required]
   --output, -o     Output file, default same as input file with new extension
   --format, -f 'png'   Output file format, default png [png,jpeg]
   --verbose        Enable more verbose output
   --no-annotations Disabled annotations such as time and frequency scales
   --help, -h       show help
   --version, -v    print the version

```

## Demo
Here is an render of rtl_power tool scanning 80-90 MHz during 2.5 hours moving in a car. ![80-90 MHz](http://i.imgur.com/knkzLXO.jpg).
