NAME

       mcplot-matplotlib - Plotting the results of a mcstas simulation using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

       mcplot-matplotlib  [-h]  [-t]  [–html]  [–format  FORMAT]  [–output  OUTPUT]  [–log]  [–backend  BACKEND]
       [simulation ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The front-end mcplot-matplotlib 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-matplotlib.  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,  the  name  of  the  file  or  directory  should  be   passed   to   mcplot-matplotlib,
       e.g. mcplot-matplotlib  dir  or mcplot-matplotlib file.  It is also possible to plot one single text (not
       binary) data file from a given monitor, passing its name to mcplot-matplotlib.  The -h option  will  list
       valid options.

       This is the Matplotlib plotting tool.

OPTIONS

       simulation
              file or directory to plot

       -h, –help
              show this help message and exit

       -t, –test
              mccode data loader test run

       –html  save plot to html using mpld3 (linux only)

       –format FORMAT
              save plot to pdf/png/eps/svg...  without bringing up window

       –output OUTPUT
              save  plot  to  given  file  without  bringing up window.  Extension (e.g. pdf/png/eps/svg) can be
              specified in the file name or --format

       –log   initiate plot(s) with log of signal

       –backend BACKEND
              use non-default backend for matplotlib plot
