5. Plot tab
The Plot page allows the user to create/clone or edit the list of plots that belong to this project. The page contains an editable listbox on the left that permits the user to modify the file name that will used to identify the plot the title of the plot and the type of the plot. Flair is using the timestamp of the generated files (under the selected filename) to find the status of the plot. Therefore it is highly recommended to use unique file names, otherwise you could have unpredictable results plotted.
Gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info) is used as the default plotting engine. Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility for UNIX, IBM OS/2, MS Windows, DOS, Macintosh, VMS, Atari and many other platforms. The software is copyrighted but freely distributed. flair permits the full usage of the power of gnuplot, but for this some knowledge of gnuplot commands is recommended.
During plotting the “Output” window will display all commands that are issued in gnuplot. In case of doubt of the plot result, please check the Output window.
All plotting frames share the same header and footer, for entering general information about the plot

Plot Types: For the moment the following plot types are supported
- Geometry:
Geometry plot, with possibility to visualize regions, materials, lattices, biasing and magnetic field maps
- Usr-1D:
Plot output the of single differential quantities like for FLUKA:
USRBDX
,USRCOLL
,USRTRACK
,USRYIELD
- Usr-2D:
Plot the double differential quantity from
USRBDX
- Usrbin:
Perform 1D and 2D
USRBIN
plots- Resnucle:
Plot output of
RESNULEi
card as 1D or 2D distributions- Userdump:
For processing and plotting the output of the standard MGDRAW routine, activated with a
USERDUMP
card. Useful for plotting the distribution of the SOURCE particles.
