Surface File Post-processing (e)
Post-processing of the surface file can be done with the Perl script surfaceTo.pl. The user must have Perl installed on their machine. The surfaceTo.pl program transforms the surface file into formatted input for Tecplot, Gnuplot, Grapher, Igor, MatLab, SciDAVis or Plotmtv.
The minimum command line is
perl surfaceTo.pl
after which the user is prompted for the plotting package name, plotting package input file name, STOMP surface file name, surfaces, and surface-flux variable names.
However, the command line can be expanded to include these options. A few examples of expanded command lines are:
| Commands | |
|---|---|
surfaceTo.pl -as -t Gnuplot surface.dat surface |
prints all surfaces (variables and title will be prompted) to file surface.dat |
surfaceTo.pl -av -as Tecplot surface.dat surface |
prints all surfaces and variables to file surface.dat |
surfaceTo.pl Grapher surface.dat surface |
prints (variables and surfaces will be prompted) to file surface.dat |
surfaceTo.pl -av Tecplot surface.dat surface |
prints all variables (surfaces will be prompted) to file surface.dat |
