Installation:

################################################# #################################################

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib python-numpy python-scipy ipython

Set pythonpath environment variable:

echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/analysator" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Using Analysator:

################################################# ipython # Start ipython import pytools as pt # Import Analysator

Navigating functions:

pt.calculations.pitch_angles? #press [Enter] pt.vlsvfile.VlsvReader? #press [Enter] pt.plot.plot_colormap? #press [Enter] pt.plot.plot_vdf? #press [Enter]

For non-interactive mode (also when no X is available):

set the environment variable PTNONINTERACTIVE to any value before launching

python/ipython. If in interactive mode, experimental non-blocking

windows via matplotlib.pyplot.ion() are in use.

################################################# export PTNONINTERACTIVE=1

For selecting a backend manually (if Agg or TkAgg is not available)

################################################# export PTBACKEND=Qt5Agg

For disabling full LaTeX formatted output (if texlive is not installed)

################################################# export PTNOLATEX=1

Analysator is using logging. It is controlled by setting the enviroment variable ANALYSATOR_LOG_LEVEL

################################################# Supported: DEBUG, INFO (default), WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL

For example, disable INFO prints via: export ANALYSATOR_LOG_LEVEL='WARNING'

MayaVi2 support (deprecated)

################################################# Some old plotting tools requiring the MayaVi2 visualization library can be activated by setting the environment variable: export PTMAYAVI2=1

This naturally depends on mayavi, so: sudo apt-get install mayavi2

For setting the default output directory (default: $HOME/Plots)

################################################# export PTOUTPUTDIR=/proj/USERNAME/Plots/

If using a jupyter notebook on the UH hub system, you can activate interactive plot windows with

%matplotlib ipympl or %matplotlib notebook before importing pytools

Examples and instructions for batch scripting (on CSC's system) are found in

examples/generate_panel.py and examples/generate_movie.sh
