DESCRIPTION
SPLASH: A visualisation tool for SPH data (c)2004-2025 Daniel Price and contributors v3.11.2 [4th April 2025]
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)
