NAME

       mxdisplay-matplotlib - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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