- I have had some ``me-to'' queries about more general use of gr_osview.
- I have found the gr_osview program useful for displaying the
- results of simulations, using ``export'' files, i.e. -D option.
- My procedure is
-
- (1) Start gr_osview -s <export> with a guess at a suitable .grosview file.
- (2) Edit <export> to replace the labels and to eliminate the data fields.
- (3) gr_osview -D <export>
- (4) Start the simulation, appending ascii output in the correct format to
- <export> every 0.2 seconds, or less frequently.
-
- On balance, using the nice graphical display features of gr_osview
- this way outweighs the problems of dealing with the <export> file.
- Here are some questions:
-
- (1) What is the interpretation of lines 2-6 the <export> file?
- I have deduced the meaning of only a few of the fields.
-
- (2) It appears wasteful to perform averaging in my program and then
- again in gr_osview, when the simulation rate is faster than 1/5 secs.
- Can the gr_osview clock go faster?
