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  compo‐
       nents 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  mcx‐
       trace,  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.

OPTIONS

       INSTR  Displays the given McCode 3D model with its defaults/current parameters.

       name1=value1 ...
              Displays the given McCode model with given parameters.

       -n N, –ncount N
              Number of particles to simulate
