 This script generates a data file that can be read by gnuplot or similar
-software. Columns, representing different data fields, may be generated via
-command line arguments. Current available columns include:
+software. The first column represent the date (cycle * epoch) of the Salis
+save file. The second column represents the number of organisms at that given
+dat.
 
-- current cycle:       always present
-- number of organisms: activate with '-o' flag
+To run it, you may call it from within the ./bin/ directory (or wherever you
+keep your auto-saved files) inside the SALIS main directory, such as:
 
-To run it, simply call it from within the ./bin/ directory inside the SALIS
-main directory, such as:
+../plugins/grapher.py def.sim.*.auto
 
-../plugins/grapher.py -o def.sim.*.auto

-Calling this will create a single DATA file including data from all files
-matching the given pattern. This file may, in turn, be passed into gnuplot
-for generating graphs.
