Class GnuPloter

java.lang.Object

simpa.acc.api.utils.GnuPloter

public final class GnuPloter
extends Object

Minimal GnuPlot helper for quick visualization of field-at-points files. Produces a data file with X Y Z Fx Fy Fz and a small gnuplot script to render either a 2D plot of magnitude or a 3D splot of magnitude.

Method Details

launchGnuplotScript

public static void launchGnuplotScript(String scriptContent)
                                throws IOException

Launch a gnuplot script with the specified content and element name.

Parameters:

scriptContent - The content of the gnuplot script.

Throws:

IOException

plotFieldAtPoints

public static String plotFieldAtPoints(String elementName,
 boolean launch)
                                throws IOException

Original method kept for compatibility: color-coded magnitude display by default.

Throws:

IOException

plotFieldAtPoints

public static String plotFieldAtPoints(String elementName,
 boolean launch,
 boolean vectorField)
                                throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

plotFieldAtPoints

public static String plotFieldAtPoints(String elementName,
 boolean launch,
 boolean vectorField,
 double scalingFactor)
                                throws IOException

Plot the field at points. If vectorField is false, displays a color-coded magnitude scatter. If vectorField is true, displays arrows (vectors) using the Fx,Fy,Fz components. The scalingFactor parameter only affects the vector display. The method returns the path to the generated gnuplot script.

Throws:

IOException
