Python scripts designed to parse output files produced by VOACAPW/Voacapl have been produced.  The scripts require the Matplotlib library.  The area plotting scripts require the associated 'basearea' package to run (Note: These packages are part of a standard Fedora 7 distribution.)  All data files used to create the plots shown on this page were generated with voacapl.

The scripts may be downloaded here.  Copy the zip file to new directory, and type 'make install' to install the scripts and man page (you will probably need to be logged in with root privileges to do this)

The plot shows MUF/FOT over on an image indicating circuit reliability.  The '-b 1' option has been invoked to plot SW Broadcast Bands.

The above plot displays the contents of a voa area prediction on a Cartesian projection.

The above plot displays the contents of a VOA area prediction on a equidistant projection.
