NAME

       mxplot-matplotlib - Plotting the results of a mcxtrace simulation using Matplotlib

SYNOPSIS

       mxplot-matplotlib  [-h]  [-t]  [–html]  [–format FORMAT] [–output OUTPUT] [–log] [–backend
       BACKEND] [simulation ...]

DESCRIPTION

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

       This is the Matplotlib plotting tool.

OPTIONS

       simulation
              file or directory to plot

       -h, –help
              show this help message and exit

       -t, –test
              mxcode data loader test run

       –html  save plot to html using mpld3 (linux only)

       –format FORMAT
              save plot to pdf/png/eps/svg...  without bringing up window

       –output OUTPUT
              save   plot   to   given   file   without   bringing    up    window.     Extension
              (e.g. pdf/png/eps/svg) can be specified in the file name or --format

       –log   initiate plot(s) with log of signal

       –backend BACKEND
              use non-default backend for matplotlib plot
