# mxdisplay-webgl-classic(1)

mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations using WebGL (in a browser)

## NAME

**mxdisplay-webgl-classic** - mcxtrace Graphical display of simulations using WebGL (in a browser)

## SYNOPSIS

**mxdisplay-webgl-classic** \[-h\] \[–default\] \[–dirname DIRNAME\] \[–inspect INSPECT\] \[–nobrowse\] \[–invcanvas\] \[–first FIRST\] \[–last LAST\] \[-n N\] INSTR \[options ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **mxdisplay-webgl-classic** front-end is a graphical debugging tool. It presents a schematic drawing of the instrument definition, showing the position of the components and the paths of the simulated xrays through the instrument. It is thus very useful for debugging a simulation, for example to spot components in the wrong position or to find out where xrays are getting lost. To use the **mxdisplay-webgl-classic** front-end with a simulation, run it as follows: `mxdisplay-webgl-classic INSTR args...` where INSTR is the name of either the instrument source `INSTR.instr` or the simulation program `INSTR.out` generated with mcxtrace, and `args` are the normal command line arguments for the simulation, as for *mxrun*. The `-h` option will list valid options.

This is the classic WebGL (browser) plotting tool.

## OPTIONS

- **INSTR**

  Displays the given mcxtrace 3D model with its defaults/current parameters.

- **name1=value1 ...**

  Displays the given mcxtrace model with given parameters.

- **-h, –help**

  show this help message and exit

- **–default**

  automatically use instrument defaults for simulation run

- **–dirname DIRNAME**

  output directory name override

- **–inspect INSPECT**

  display only particle rays reaching this component

- **–nobrowse**

  do not open a webbrowser viewer

- **–invcanvas**

  invert canvas background from black to white

- **–first FIRST**

  zoom range first component

- **–last LAST**

  zoom range last component

- **-n N, –ncount N**

  Number of particles to simulate
