mxdisplay - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations

                                                       git                                          mxDISPLAY(1)

Description

       The mxdisplay 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 front-end with a
       simulation, run it as follows: mxdisplay 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 PyQtGraph plotting tool.

Examples

       Display the Test_SX example (Single crystal diffraction)

       • mxdisplay Test_SX.instr -d output_dir -n 1e2 TTH=13.4
