Carpet Visualisation Tools
A variety of visualisation tools exist which provide different methods
to analyse Carpet output data, ranging from simple 1D line plots up
to advanced 3D animations.
Here is a collection of such tools which are widely used.
Carpet users are also encouraged to provide their
own tools and utility programs for sharing with the community.
The Cactus Visualisation
homepage lists a number of packages suitable for
the visualisation of Cactus output data in various formats:
- ygraph
an animated, easy client for 1D line plots from CarpetIOASCII data
- gnuplot
a powerful visualization tool for 1D and 2D CarpetIOASCII data
hdf5toascii_slicer
a utility program included in thorn CarpetIOHDF5 which extracts
2D slices from 3D HDF5 datasets produced by CarpetIOHDF5 and outputs
them in CarpetIOASCII format (suitable to be processed by gnuplot).
See the thorn documentation of Carpet/CarpetIOHDF5 for details.
- Amira
an advanced 3D visualization system from the
Konrad-Zuse-Institute in Berlin (ZIB)
-
DataVaultXVSutils
a utility package to import CarpetIOHDF5 data
into xvs and DV, some simple-to-use OpenGL-based visualisation clients
to plot 1D and 2D slices
- OpenDXutils
a utility package to import CarpetIOHDF5 data into
OpenDX
Gian Mario Manca
has kindly made available his scripts to import full 3D CarpetIOHDF5
output data into MatLab.
