✨ mxPLOT-html(1) — the vibe 💅

okay bestie, so mxplot-html is the manual page we're doing today, and honestly? it's giving "plot your whole simulation in a browser and look cute doing it." 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

mxplot-html — plotting the results of a mcxtrace simulation in a browser ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mxplot-html [-h] [-n] [-l] [–autosize] [–libpath [LIBPATH ...]] [-o
OUTPUT] [simulation ...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the front-end mxplot-html is a program that makes plots of all the monitors in a simulation, which is highkey the move when you want a quick overview of your simulation results. no cap. 👑

in the simplest case? you literally just type mxplot-html and you're done. that plots any simulation data stored in the current directory — which is where simulations store their results by default, iykyk. 🫶

but if the --dir or --file options got used, then you pass the name of the file or directory to mxplot-html, like:

mxplot-html dir

or

mxplot-html file

and yes, you can also plot one single text (not binary) data file from a given monitor by passing its name to mxplot-html. ✨

and if you ever forget what's what, the -h option will list valid options for you. 💅

this one is the web/html plotting tool, bestie — it plots in browser. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, –help — show this help message and exit. the classic "help me bestie" button. 🆘
  • -n, –nobrowse — do not open a webbrowser viewer. so no browser pops up, it just... doesn't. 🙈
  • -l, –log — enable logscale on plot. logarithmic glow-up. 📈
  • –autosize — expand to window size on load. main character energy, fills the whole screen. 🦋
  • –libpath [LIBPATH ...] — js lib files path. that's where the js libs live. 💜
  • -o OUTPUT, –output OUTPUT — specify output file (.html extension). name your baby. 🎀
