NAME

       mcplot - Plotting the results of a mcstas simulation

SYNOPSIS

       mcplot [-h] [-t] [–invcanvas] [simulation ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The front-end mcplot 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.  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 (see section 5.2), the name of the
       file or directory should be passed to mcplot, e.g. mcplot dir or mcplot file.  It is  also
       possible  to plot one single text (not binary) data file from a given monitor, passing its
       name to mcplot.  The -h option will list valid options.

       The default plotting backend is mcplot-pyqtgraph, but there exists a number of  additional
       plotters such as mcplot-matplotlib, mcplot-svg (in a browser), mcplot-matlab (using Matlab
       or Octave).

OPTIONS

       simulation
              file or directory to plot

       options: -h, –help : show this help message and exit

       -t, –test
              mccode data loader test run

       –invcanvas
              invert canvas background from black to white
