vmgn - isovalue maps at multiple times

Synopsis

vmgn is a bourne shell program which will use vmax and filt to generate gnuplot carpet plots for specified times of a dart simulation generated .lst file.

Syntax

vmgn -n num_pts [-f .lst_file] [-w base_name] XX [YY [ZZ ... ] ]

-n
num_pts indicates the number of lines after which an additional line break should be added. This should be then number of points in the X direction of the simulation.

-f
.lst_file indicates the .lst file which vmax will process. The default is vm.lst

-w
base_name indicates the basename of the output file. The default is gn_.

Examples

vmgn -n 40 1.2 3.4
This would produce two files, gn_1.2 and gn_3.4. Each file would be in a gnuplot format and would be the result of using vmax to gain an isovalue map of all points. Note that the number of points in the X direction must be 40. Also the default file, vm.lst, is used here.

vmgn -f phio.lst -n 60 4.5 6.7
Here, phio.lst is used as input to vmax. Therefore, interstitial isovalue maps would be produced at times 4.5 and 6.7. The output would be put into gn_4.5 and gn_6.7.

vmgn -f phio.lst -n 60 -w foo_ 4.5 6.7
Same as the last example, except the output files would be foo_4.5 and foo_6.7

Warning

Please note that if isovalue maps for the same time are created for phio.lst and vm.lst, the first run's output will be overwritten. If you have a suggestion on a better way to handle this, please email the author.
