NAME

       mcdisplay-matplotlib - mcstas Graphical display of simulations using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

       mcdisplay-matplotlib [-h] INSTR name=value...

DESCRIPTION

       The mcdisplay-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 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-matplotlib front-end with a simulation, run it as follows: mcdisplay-matplotlib  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 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
