Overview

Usage with flags: splash [-f format] [-p fileprefix] [-ev]

: [-x col] [-y col] [-r col] [-cont col] file1 file2 ...

Command line options:

-f format: : input file format to be read (default is ascii, --formats for full list)

-p fileprefix: : change prefix to ALL settings files read/written by splash

-e, -ev: : use default options best suited for line plotting (.ev files)

-360: : set default options suited to 360 video

-b, --buffer: : buffer all data files into memory

-o pixformat: : dump pixel map in specified format (use just -o for list of formats)

Command line plotting mode:

-x column: : x axis

-y column: : y axis

`-r[ender] column`	: column to render (will use 1 and 2 as x,y if `-x`,-y not specified)
`-vec[tor] column`	: vector quantity to plot with arrows

-c[ontour] column : contoured quantity

-multi: : multiplot

-dev device: : specify plotting device on command line (e.g. -dev /xw)

--movie: : shortcut for -dev /mp4 to make a movie from plot sequence

--xsec=1.0: : specify location of cross section slice

--kappa=1.0: : specify opacity, and turn on opacity rendering

--anglex=30: : rotate around x axis (similarly --angley, --anglez)

--code: : enforce code units (also --codeunits)

--sink=1: : centre on sink particle number 1

--origin=666: : set coordinate system origin to particle number 666

--origin=maxdens: : set coordinate system origin to particle at maximum density

--track=666: : track particle number 666

--track=maxdens: : track particle at maximum density

--exact=file1,f2: : read and plot exact solution from ascii files file1 and f2

--sort: : sort filenames for comparison (e.g. snap_000 snap1_000 snap2_000)

Example data formats (type --formats for full list):

-ascii,-csv: : ascii text/csv format (default)

-phantom -sphng: : Phantom and sphNG codes (auto)

-vtk: : vtk legacy binary format (auto)

-ndspmhd: : ndspmhd code (auto)

-gandalf,-seren: : Gandalf/Seren code

-gadget: : Gadget code (auto)

This build does not support HDF5. Compile with HDF5=yes to change this. This build does not support FITS. Compile with FITS=yes to change this.

Convert mode:

splash to ascii: : convert to ascii; type "splash to" for other formats

Grid conversion mode:

splash to grid: : interpolate to grid; type "splash to" for details
