H5plot is a small GUI to view the solutions in an H5parm interactively. To run it directly, clone this repository and run as

python h5plot <h5parm>

or, when using the Singularity image,

singularity run h5plot.simg <h5parm>

This package is also installable through pip:

pip install --upgrade https://github.com/revoltek/losoto/archive/master.zip
pip install lofar-h5plot

After this, it can simply be run as:

h5plot <h5parm>
