6. Partiview and NEMO

The program snapspecks converts a NEMO snapshot to specks format that can be read in directly by partiview. The default viewing variables are x,y,z,m, but you can add and changed them by using the options= keyword. In fact, arbitrary bodytrans expressions can be used for output. In the following example a 32-body Plummer sphere is created, which is then given a power-law mass spectrum (with slope -2) between 0.5 and 10 mass units, and animated:


  % mkplummer - 32 |\
        snapmass - - massname='n(m)' masspars=p,-2 massrange=0.5,10 |\
        hackcode1 - run1.dat
  % snapspecks run1.dat > run1.tab
  % partiview run1.cf
  % cat run1.cf

  read run1.tab
  eval labels off
  eval lum lum 0 1
  eval polylumvar point-size .1 area
  texturevar 4
  eval psize 5000
  eval slum 5
  eval every 1
