Choosing plots #5

Open ccarouge opened 7 years ago

ccarouge commented 7 years ago

Maybe that's just me but the way to choose which plots to output was very confusing to me. If I don't specify anything, I get everything. If I specify something, I get only what I specify. I had to check the code to know how to change the default values. And that's only then I discovered that if I specify something then the other plots are set to False instead of True. Would it be clearer to have everything True by default and have to specify --no-X to set plot X to False?

Or maybe there needs to be a clearer help message?

aidanheerdegen commented 7 years ago

Ok. Point taken. I'll clean up the help message, as I prefer to specify a specific plot. It also scales if more plots are added.

I can add probably add a --no- option

I agree it's nice to only specify what we want and it scales better.
