mxdisplay - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations

mxdisplay [-h] [–default] [–dirname DIRNAME] [–inspect INSPECT] [–invcanvas] [-n N] INSTR [options ...]

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.
