NAME

       mcdisplay-matplotlib - mcstas Graphical display of simulations using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The mcdisplay-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 neutrons 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
       neutrons  are  getting lost.  To use the mcdisplay-matplotlib front-end with a simulation,
       run it as follows: mcdisplay-matplotlib INSTR args... where INSTR is the  name  of  either
       the  instrument  source  INSTR.instr  or  the  simulation program INSTR.out generated with
       mcstas, and args are the normal command line arguments for the simulation, as  for  mcrun.
       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
