Plots and images¶

image converter is very useful tool to quickly inspect simulation results. It accepts data with any 1-D and 2-D scoring grid and is producing images in PNG format with plots. Conversion is done using standard command:

convertmc image --many "*.bdo"

After converting data with 1-D scoring grid, following plot can be generated

Data containing 2-D scoring grid are visualised as heatmap with color denoting scored value.

Options¶

Colormap¶

When generating heatmaps it is also possible to specify colormap. List of available colormaps is available here: http://matplotlib.org/users/colormaps.html. By default colormap called gnuplot2 is used. An example plot obtained with other colormap (Grays) can be obtained with following command:

convertmc image --many "*.bdo" --colormap Greys
