Iplotclaw for interactive plotting in python

[Randy LeVeque]

I've added a module Iplotclaw (in claw/python/Iplotclaw.py) to provide
a looping mechanism for viewing Clawplack plots in python, similar to
plotclawN.m for N-dim data in Matlab.

This uses the matplotlib commands, so this must be available in your
python.

To use it, make sure claw/python is in your PYTHONPATH and then
>>> import Iplotclaw
>>> pc = Iplotclaw.Iplotclaw() # new instantiation
>>> pc.plotloop() # to start looping
PLOTCLAW > help # for list of available
commands
PLOTCLAW > q # to quit looping and return
to python
>>> pc.plotloop() # to restart looping at
previous frame,
# with data,
outdir, etc. preserved.

This is in the svn repository, not yet in the tar file.

Hi Himanshu,

Are you using Clawpack 4.6 or the clawpack development packages?

If you just want the Python-based development packages, we recommend using pip or easy_install to install visclaw -- you may need to use sudo if you are installing to your system instead of a user location.  

The command line is:

pip install clawpack

or

easy_install clawpack

You will also need a git installed on your system.  

Let me know if this doesn't work for you or you are working from a 4.6 distribution, as the requirements are slightly different.

Cheers,

Aron

If you have clawpack 4.6.2 then follow Randy's directions at http://www.clawpack.org/users-4.6/installing.html#setting-environment-variables.  This will include the Iplotcalw script once setup.
