Usage

mcgui [INSTR]

Overview

The front-end mcgui provides a graphical user interface that interfaces the various parts of the mcstas package. It is started from a shell/command prompt using simply the command mcgui The mcgui program may optionally be given the name INSTR of an instrument file. When the front-end is started, a main window is opened. This window displays the output from compiling and running simulations, and also contains a few menus and buttons. The main purpose of the front-end is to edit and compile instrument definitions, run the simulations, and visualize the results.

Options

INSTR: optional name of the instrument to open.
