mcplot-matlab1

Plotting the results of a mcstas simulation using matlab/octave

Usage

mcplot-matlab [-hom] [{-png | -jpg | -fig | -eps | -pdf}] [{FILE | DIR}]

Overview

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

This is the Matlab/Octave plotting tool.
