💨 Quickstart

If you are running from the repository Cinegraph can be invoked using:

$ poetry run cinegraph 

or if you are running from a pip installation you should have the CLI command available:

$ cinegraph

If you do not provide any positional arguments to specify input files it will automatically open a Tkinter file picker, you need to have a capable display window provider (if using WSL Xserver is a great option.)

Additionally you can run it with the following flags:
