Viscid: Visualizing Plasma Simulations in Python¶
Viscid is a python framework to visualize scientific data on structured meshes. The following file types are understood,
- XDMF + HDF5
- OpenGGCM jrrle (3df, p[xyz], iof)
- OpenGGCM binary (3df, p[xyz], iof)
- Athena (bin, hst, tab)
- VPIC
- ASCII
There is also preliminary support for reading and plotting AMR datasets from XDMF files.
Below are some simple examples to get you started with Viscid. There are some far more interesting examples in the Viscid/tests directory, but they are not always as straight forward or documented as the examples here.
Source Code¶
Both the master and dev branches make every attempt to be usable (thanks to continuous integration), but the obvious caveats exist, i.e. the dev branch has more cool new features but it isn’t as tested.
