Processing Sopale Output

bmnt_library

bmnt_library is a collection of shell scripts and IDL programs designed for processing the output files of sopale.

scan_matlabfile

scan_matlabfile reads sopale matlab output and produces text files:

• coordinates and eulerian velocities (at the center of each column) of the surface.
• height and depth of a given material.

Making Animated Gifs

• Use sopale_plot to create a multi-page postscript file <file>.ps
• Use "identify" to determine the size (width x height) of the image:
  identify <file>.ps
• Use "gv" to decide how much white space to cut off the top; get height2.
  gv <file>.ps
• Use "convert" to make the animated gif:
  convert -page <width>x<height2> <file>.ps -delay 200 -loop 0 -rotate -90 <file>.gif

IDL_M-S Scripts

The original system is IDL_M-S Scripts, written by Sergei Medvedev.
Usage: Take a copy of the IDL programs, and modify them to make your plot.

• Postprocessing in IDL (PDF document by Mai Nguyen)
• Table containing descriptions of some variables in the IDL_M-S scripts
