[mcstas-users] McStas with Octave

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Hi again Jesus,


Nothing as such prevents to use Octave for that type of visualization - we just never coded that up… :-)


Best,

Peter

Hello Peter,

Thank you. I am trying to use FreeWRL because I didn't find any other open wrml software. But it works very well.
I guess that It can also record gif animations.

Is the trace option an intrinsic limitation of Octave?

Thank you very much.
kind regards,

Jesús P. de Vicente.-

Dear Jesus,


Good to hear that at least the plotting works!

Just to supplement what Emmanuel wrote:

For the 'TRACE' option there is currently no support for Octave.

If you want to visualise in 3D you can alternatively try using the 'VRML' output option - which has the caveat that maximum ~1000 rays in practice can be visualised. If you have FreeWRL or another VRML/x3d browser installed this can then be used to open the resulting mcdisplay_commands.wrl (example attached) and get the type of graphics you find attached.

In principle there is also a Scilab option - which unfortunatlely only works with the specific 4.0 version of Scilab and also not nice to use...

Best,

Peter
