mcPLOT(1) mcPLOT(1)

NAME

mcplot - Plotting the results of a mcstas simulation

SYNOPSIS

mcplot [-h] [-t] [–invcanvas] [simulation ...]

DESCRIPTION

The front-end mcplot is a program that produces plots of all the monitors in a simulation, and it is thus useful to get a quick overview of the simulation results. In the simplest case, the front-end is run simply by typing mcplot. This will plot any simulation data stored in the current directory, which is where simulations store their results by default. If the –dir or –file options have been used (see section 5.2), the name of the file or directory should be passed to mcplot, e.g. mcplot dir or mcplot file. It is also possible to plot one single text (not binary) data file from a given monitor, passing its name to mcplot. The -h option will list valid options.

The default plotting backend is mcplot-pyqtgraph, but there exists a number of additional plotters such as mcplot-matplotlib, mcplot-html (in a browser), mcplot-matlab (using Matlab or Octave).
