F5} [Plot] tab
The Plot page allows the user to create/clone or edit the list of
plots that belong to this project. The page contains an editable
listbox on the left that permits the user to modify the file name
that will used to identify the plot the title of the plot and the
type of the plot. Flair is using the timestamp of the generated
files (under the selected filename) to find the status of the plot.
Therefore it is highly recommended to use unique file names,
otherwise you could have unpredictable results plotted.
Gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info) is used as the default plotting
engine. Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data
and function plotting utility for UNIX, IBM OS/2, MS Windows, DOS,
Macintosh, VMS, Atari and many other platforms. The software is
copyrighted but freely distributed. flair permits the full usage of
the power of gnuplot, but for this some knowledge of gnuplot
commands is recommended.
During plotting the "Output" window will display all commands that
are issued in gnuplot. In case of doubt of the plot result, please
check the Output window.
All plotting frames share the same header and footer, for entering
general information about the plot

Clean Delete all generated files for the plot creation
Plot Press this button to generate the plot. flair will
try to generate all the necessary files ONLY when
needed (e.g running FLUKA to produce the geometry,
running gplevbin to process the USRBIN files
etc..) and if everything is successful it will
display the plot.
flair keeps some time information of the
generation of each file and the associated
parameters. If flair finds out that the output
file exists and no parameter has changed, then it
will skip the processing of the file and create
directly the plot.

Plot Types
~~~~~~~~~~
For the moment the following plot types are supported
Geometry Geometry plot, with possibility to visualize regions,
materials, lattices, biasing and magnetic field maps
Usrbin Perform 1D and 2D USRBIN plots
Usr-1d Plot output the of USRBDX, USRCOLL, USRTRACK, USRYIELD
Usr-2d Plot the double differential quantity from USRBDX
Resnucle Plot output of RESNULEi card as 1D or 2D
distributions
Userdump For processing and plotting the output of the
standard MGDRAW routine, activated with a USERDUMP
card. Useful for plotting the distribution of the
SOURCE particles.

Commands
In this text box the user and enter gnuplot
commands to modify partially or completely the
behavior of the plot. Special commands are the
"plot" when this line appears (without the "")
"splot" flair will issue its standard plot
command. Use this command if you want
to have gnuplot commands before or
after the "plot" command issued by
flair
"replot" allow the user to add additional
plotting commands to the standard
flair one
With the gnuplot commands the user has full
control of all commands. For example issuing a
"reset" command gnuplot will ignore all the
settings from flair and the user has to manually
enter his plot.
You can add labels, arrows, text, modify the
palette, axes, position or size of the plot with
the use of the "Gnuplot commands" window
Notes:
~~~~~~
- Multiple plots can be edited, plotted, saved, printed at once.
* Select the multiple plots from the listbox.
* To edit a specific field <Right-Click> on the field to enable
it and change the value. All fields that are enabled will
update their value to the selected plots
