OpenEarthtools contains a dedicated toolbox for SWAN input and output. You can access this toolbox at https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/matlab/applications/swan/ after downloading a copy with svn with your free OpenEarth account. This toolbox allows you to automate all results: open the SWAN input file with swan_io_input into a struct, and then loop all external output files listed in the struct with for instance swan_io_spectrum and swan_io_table. You can automatically annotate any plots with your input settings. (Note that this toolbox does not use the new, preferred netCDF output yet that is available in recent SWAN releases.)
