[mcstas-users] listing components positions

[Erik Bergbäck Knudsen]

Dear Jean-Francois,
Indead - there is a simpler way to get the component positions:
  mcdisplay Example.instr
will do that for you.
Or, if you use the GUI, select "Trace (3d view)" instead of "Simulate" 
you also get the list of positions.
The GUI actually runs mcdisplay in the background, so the two are 
really one and the same.

I hope that helps.

cheers
Erik
