# pygvec CLI

Users can interface with `pygvec` directly from the command line rather than by opening a python REPL or Jupyter window.

The `pygvec` interfaces for other codes or libraries are:
- [quasr](./quasr.md)
- [cas3d](./cas3d.md)
- [gist](./gist.md)

There are also tools for visualisation with:
- `pygvec visu`: for generating some default plots. Users should see the [plotting](/tutorials/notebooks/051_plotting) tutorial for a comprehensive guide for using the plotting routines.
- `pygvec to-paraview`: for exporting a GVEC run to a paraview file for visualisation.

For more information on any `pygvec` command line tools please run `pygvec -h` or `pygvec <tool> -h` to display the help text.
