NAME

       mxdisplay-matlab - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations using Matlab/Octave

SYNOPSIS

       mxdisplay-matlab [-hom] [-png|-jpg|-fig|-eps|-pdf|-tif] [–inspect=COMP] INSTR name=value...

DESCRIPTION

       The mxdisplay-matlab front-end is a graphical debugging tool.  It presents a schematic drawing of the in‐
       strument  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 components in the
       wrong position or to find out where xrays are getting lost.  To use the mxdisplay-matlab front-end with a
       simulation, run it as follows: mxdisplay INSTR args... where INSTR is the name of either  the  instrument
       source  INSTR.instr  or the simulation program INSTR.out generated with mcxtrace, 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 Matlab/Octave plotting tool.

OPTIONS

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

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

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

       [-png|-jpg|-fig|-eps|-pdf|-tif]
              Same as above, and specifies an output file format to generate.  Possible save_as  are  -png  -pdf
              -fig -tif -jpg -eps

       –inspect=COMP
              Same as above, and only plot component names that match COMP, given as a single component word for
              partial match, such as Monitor a component interval such as Monok:Sample or 2:10 or 2:end
