✨ mcPLOT(1) — the girlies' guide ✨

okay so bestie, you know that moment when your simulation finishes and you're like… now what? 💀 this is the manual page for mcplot, section 1 of the manual, and it's literally your new best friend. no cap.

💖 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. it's giving instant glow-up for your data 💅

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. (yes bestie, it just knows where to look, iconic behavior 👑)

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. use it, bestie, it's free 💖

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). a whole roster of plotters, we love options fr fr ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • simulation — file or directory to plot 🗂️
  • options: -h, –help — show this help message and exit 👋
  • -t, –test — mccode data loader test run 🧪
  • –invcanvas — invert canvas background from black to white 🖤➡️🤍

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

Run and plot the Test_SX example (Single crystal diffraction) 🔮

  1. mcrun Test_SX.instr -d output_dir -n 1e7 TTH=13.4
  2. mcplot output_dir
look at that. run it, plot it, slay it. periodt 💅✨
