+# gpx_reduce_light
+
+* gpx_reduce.py, a version of gpx_reduce with no dependencies (only the standard python libraries)
+Only the plot option has been removed.
+See [original version](https://github.com/Alezy80/gpx_reduce) for more info.
+
+Usage example:
+```
+> gpx_reduce.py -d 2 -t 30 your_track.gpx
+```
+
+* gpx_plot.py, a separate program to plot one or more tracks with "gnuplot".
+Gnuplot has to be installed and the path to the binary has to be changed in the code
+to reflect your installation:
+
+```python
+# the path to the gnuplot binary
+gnuPlotCmd = 'path/to/gnuplot'
+```
+
+Usage example that compares a reduced track with the original:
+```
+> gpx_plot.py your_track.gpx your_track_reduced.gpx
+```
