mxDISPLAY-MATPLOTLIB(1) mxDISPLAY-MATPLOTLIB(1)

NAME

mxdisplay-matplotlib - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

mxdisplay-matplotlib [-h] INSTR name=value...

DESCRIPTION

The mxdisplay-matplotlib front-end is a graphical debugging tool. It presents a schematic drawing of the instrument definition, showing the position of the components and the paths of the simulated xrays through the instrument. It is thus very useful for debugging a simulation, for example to spot components in the wrong position or to find out where xrays are getting lost. To use the mxdisplay-matplotlib front-end with a simulation, run it as follows: mxdisplay-matplotlib INSTR args... where INSTR is the name of either the instrument source INSTR.instr or the simulation program INSTR.out generated with mcxtrace, and args are the normal command line arguments for the simulation, as for mxrun. The -h option will list valid options.

The default plotting backend is mxdisplay-pyqtgraph, but there exists a number of additional plotters such as mxdisplay-matplotlib, mxdisplay-webgl-classic (using WebGL), mxdisplay-webgl (using WebGL and NodeJS), mxdisplay-matlab (using Matlab or Octave). This is the Matplotlib plotting tool.
