NAME

       mcplot-matplotlib - Plotting the results of a mcstas simulation using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

       mcplot-matplotlib  [-h] [-t] [–html] [–format FORMAT] [–output OUTPUT] [–log] [–backend BACKEND] [simula‐
       tion ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The front-end mcplot-matplotlib 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-matplotlib.  This will plot any simulation data stored in the current  di‐
       rectory,  which is where simulations store their results by default.  If the --dir or --file options have
       been used, the name of the file or directory should  be  passed  to  mcplot-matplotlib,  e.g. mcplot-mat‐
       plotlib  dir  or  mcplot-matplotlib  file.  It is also possible to plot one single text (not binary) data
       file from a given monitor, passing its name to mcplot-matplotlib.  The -h option will list valid options.

       This is the Matplotlib plotting tool.

OPTIONS

       simulation
              file or directory to plot

       -h, –help
              show this help message and exit

       -t, –test
              mccode data loader test run

       –html  save plot to html using mpld3 (linux only)

       –format FORMAT
              save plot to pdf/png/eps/svg...  without bringing up window

       –output OUTPUT
              save plot to given file without bringing up window.  Extension (e.g. pdf/png/eps/svg) can be spec‐
              ified in the file name or --format

       –log   initiate plot(s) with log of signal

       –backend BACKEND
              use non-default backend for matplotlib plot
