Welcome to the Iseult wiki!

Iseult is a GUI for interacting with 2D Tristan-MP simulations. It's written in python using TkInter for the GUI and matplotlib for plotting. To change a subplot settings, right click directly on the subplot. It's nearing the beta phase

Roadmap to beta release

Below is the list of what should be completed before beta:

1. Measure eps_e and eps_p
2. Measure power-law index of electrons and protons
3. Record movies (as a bunch of *.pngs to make into gifs)
4. (Done!) Save the histogram particle data in the data dict (This should greatly decrease time when returning to plots)

Longer Term Goals:

Below are longer term improvements that I may make to Iseult:

• directly save gifs using imagemagick
• ability to save Iseult settings as a json object so you can customize the default plots that are loaded
• change the way that subplot settings are opened to a way that is more discoverable and that doesn't interfere with the right-click functions of matplotlib toolbar.
• figure out a way to re-grid the particle histograms when zooming. The tough part is doing this in a manner that does not significantly affect performance.
• more plot types
