San Marino is not shown (Assumed to be cared for by Italy) Cases on Diamond Princess are not shown (Singular event)

Calculate all plots with python make_plots.py

To make individual plots about cases use with the international country codes python covid19plot.py FR DE AT To plot with logarithmic y axis add -log: python covid19plot.py -log FR DE AT Country names are in lowercase and have to be like in the read Excel file. To plot deaths add -deaths for instance python covid19plot.py -deaths FR ES

To use symbols user -format and provide a list of format options: python covid19plot.py -log AT DE FR -format "ro gs bd" -deaths Use the format options from Matlab (As they are used by Matplotlib.

To save to file add -out filename for instance python covid19plot.py FR DE AT -out middle_europe_count To save to file without displaying a plot add -dark for instance python covid19plot.py FR DE AT -out middle_europe_count -dark

To display per 100,000 inhabitants add -perCapita

To display tops add -top from to. Countries are ignored. San Marino and Diamond Princes have very many values and are suppressed. Example: python covid19plot.py -top 1 10

To set the minimal and maximal values for the y axis use -yFrom -yTo : for instance: "-yFrom 1e-2 -yTo 1e3"

To read from a local Excel file use parameter -dataFile , for instance "python covid19plot.py -dataFile region_covid_count.xls FR DE AT"
