plot_ptt_path

plot_ptt_path is an IDL program which will plot the path (in time) of a lagrangian particle on a graph of temperature vs pressure. It reads the data in sopale's ptt_path output files. Lagrangian particles are plotted, one colored circle for each point in time.

Documentation

The documentation that exists is in the main input file plot_ptt_path.xml. Get a copy as described below.

I/O

Input parameters are read from the file plot_ptt_path.xml. Output can be to X-Windows or a postscript file.

Running it, version 2.5

/home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_2.5/bin/plot_ptt_path

usage: plot_ptt_path <input-file> [ <run_name> ]
  where:
    <input-file> is an input file for plot_ptt_path
      If it exists, it will be used.  No other parameters required
 
      If it does not exist,
        <run_name> is the sopale_nested run name.  aka nameout1.
        The name plot_ptt_path.<run_name>.xml will be substituted.
        If that exists, it will be used.
        If that does not exist, it will be created.
 
for example:
  plot_ptt_path x WGR13_P4_001_
 

Running it, earlier versions

• Optionally, make a plotting directory, and cd to it.
• Type:
  cp -ip /home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/session.pro .
• Type:
  cp -ip /home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/plot_ptt_path.xml .
• ...edit plot_ptt_path.xml to suit your purposes
• ...ensure that session.pro points to the appropriate release of bmnt_library

where <version> is the current version of bmnt_library

Running

• idl session.pro
• .run plot_ptt_path
