Welcome to UNIX.COM
.seq
File extensions DO NOT have meaning necessarily to a UNIX OS. This is a Windows thing primarily. Some windows-like Linux desktops can be set up to associate certain applications with a file extension. .mp3, for example, may be associated with whatever media application you have.
Programmers often attach meaningful extensions so that someone seeing the file knows what is in it: foo.dat script.sh script1.ksh. Those extensions do not make or break the function of the file like they do in Windows. In Windows if you rename a file like foo.xlsx - an Excel file - to foo.junk then the Windows OS will not open the file using Excel automatically. You get warning messages when you rename files on Windows because of this very issue. Not on UNIX.
-q
Is a command line parameter, an option. You have to read the script to understand what effect -q has on the logic of the shell script. Nobody here can tell you what it does, anything we said would be a pure guess - if we got it right it would be an accident.

rlplot
RLPLOT(1) General Commands Manual RLPLOT(1)
NAME
rlplot - generate publication quality graphs
exprlp - convert rlplot files to vector based graphic files
SYNOPSIS
rlplot <file>
exprlp [options]<input>[options][<output>]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the rlplot and exprlp commands.
rlplot is a GUI based program for displaying scientific data in standard formats. Output is generated on the X display where further
changes can be made to the graph using point and click methods. Images can be exported as scalable vector graphics (SVG) as well as EPS,
WMF and TIFF formats.
exprlp reads RLPlot files and exports various vector based graphic file formats including scalable vector graphics (SVG), Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS), and Windows Metafile (WMF).
OPTIONS
rlplot does not have any command line options but the following options are available for exprlp
- use stdin/stdout as input or output file; requires that file format is set by -e | -s | -w option
-h help
-d delete input file after read
-e output Encapsulated PostScript, *.eps
-s output Scalable Vector Graphics, *.svg
-S like -s, start output with "Content-Type: image/svg+xml"
-v print RLPlot version
-w output Windows Meta File, *.wmf
-q quiet mode: suppress output to the console
EXAMPLES
exprlp foo.rlp foo.svg ;exports Scalable Vector Graphics
exprlp -q foo.rlp foo.eps ;exports Encapsulated PostScript, no messages
exprlp foo.rlp foo.wmf ;exports Windows Meta File
exprlp -sq foo.rlp - ;exports SVG to the console, no messages
exprlp exprlp -eq - - ;converts inputfile from stdin to EPS on stdout
switch character is either '-' or '/'
