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 sec‐
       tion 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-svg (in a browser), mcplot-matlab (using Matlab or Octave).

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
