A WebGL tool to display output from scattering simulations. This tool contains a GUI with many options that you can use to customize the view of your model. The keyboard and/or mouse can be used to change the camera location and time. The GUI also enables the user to capture screen grabs and movies.
A live version is available here.
The live version linked above can read in your data by dragging and dropping a .csv file into the browser window. The .csv format must have columns of :
ID,time,x,y,z
(The first row of the file must have those columns labeled. Other columns are OK to include but will be ignored.) Each particle gets it's own row during each time step (so you will have repeated values of time). An example csv file is provided in the data directory.
Note: I have noticed some strange behavior with my bluetooth keyboard not sending combined key presses in certain instances, e.g. when wanting "T" + "right" + "up"
- SPACE: play/pause
- hold "T" + left/right arrow keys: moves time forward/backwards by one itme step
- hold "T" + up/down : change the time step factor to accelerate/decelerate the time evolution
- hold "A" + up/down/left/right : rotate the camera
- hold "S" + up/down : zoom the camera
- hold "D" + up/down/left/right : pan the camera
If you want to run this locally (e.g., so that you can avoid the drag-and-drop feature and load your file by default), first, clone/download this repo to your computer. Navigate to the directory where the index.html file from this repo lives, and launch a simple Python server:
python -m http.server
Then you can point your browser to the url http://localhost:8000.
You can replace the data in the data with your own (following the format specified above).
Also, if you prefer to work fully in a Jupyter notebook, you can follow the example in ScatterVisNewData.ipynb.
