6.5 Post-processing programs

The standard set of programs contains four post-processing programs:

1. PGRID-prints gridded output files of mean sea state parameters,
2. PSWGRID-prints gridded output files of swell parameters,
3. PRSPP-prints spectra output files,
4. PRSPPS-prints swell spectra output files.

Evidently, each program corresponds to one of the four output files which are generated by the program CHIEF. Controlled by the user input, the results of a chosen set of parameters are printed. The files are dynamically fetched. The user may choose individual fields. If boundary spectra files are produced, both the course and fine grid file may be printed by PRSPP. As no standard, regarding plotting, seems to exist, no standard plot software is available.
