NAME

       mcdisplay-matlab - mcstas Graphical display of simulations using Matlab/Octave

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  mcdisplay-matlab  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  neutrons
       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  neutrons  are  getting  lost.   To  use  the
       mcdisplay-matlab  front-end  with a simulation, run it as follows: mcdisplay INSTR args... where INSTR is
       the name of either the instrument source INSTR.instr or the simulation program INSTR.out  generated  with
       mcstas,  and  args are the normal command line arguments for the simulation, as for mcrun.  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 mcstas 3D model with its defaults/current parameters.

       name1=value1 ...
              Displays the given mcstas 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

       -m     Explicitely request to use Matlab
