[mcstas-users] A couple of new bugs - with workarounds/fixes

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Dear all,



Firstly, several users have reported a bug related to our pyqtgraph plotter, that ends up crashing with e.g.

File "C:\mcstas-2.7.1\lib\tools\Python\mcplot\pyqtgraph\plotfuncs.py", line 203, in plot_Data2D

img.scale(dx,dy)
TypeError: scale(self): too many arguments'

If you are in this situation, replace your plotfuncs.py with this new version:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/master/tools/Python/mcplot/pyqtgraph/plotfuncs.py



Secondly, if are on a Mac and upgrade to macOS 13 Ventura (intel/x86_64), your already installed Python tools of McStas/McXtrace and /Application bundles may not work after the upgrade.

A workaround is to:

  *   In a terminal, start your “McStas or McXtrace shell" (e.g. run mcstas-3.1-environment, /Applications/McXtrace-1.7-environment.command or /Applications/McXtrace-3.0.app/Contents/Resources/mcxtrace/3.0/environment)
  *   Issue the command

export PATH=$MCSTAS/miniconda3/bin:$PATH

  *   Next, you may issue the your gui command with either
     *
        *

mcgui or mxgui


New releases of McStas and McXtrace are in preparation and should be released during November or December.


Best and sorry for the inconvenience,

Peter Willendrup
