8.24 view3dGeometry

• description: Allows viewing the 3D geometry of a beamline using the freewrl viewer.
• examples: To generate 3d data and view:

  view3dGeometry -rootname aps -showNames ‘‘*QUAD* *BEN*’’ -showCoordinates ‘‘*MON*’’

  To view again:

  freewrl aps.x3d

• synopsis:

  view3dGeometry -rootname string -showNames listOfElementTypes -showCoordinates listOfElementTypes [-nviewpoints number(10)]

• input files:
  • rootname.flr — Contains floor coordinate output from elegant (floor_coodinates command).
  • rootname.param — Contains parameter output from elegant (run_setup command).
• output files: rootname.x3d — Input data to freewrl.
• switches:
  • -rootname — Gives the rootname of the run, used to identify the input and output files.
  • -showNames — Gives list of element types, with optional wildcards, for which the element name will be shown in the viewer. Default: “*SBEN*”.
  • -showCoordinates — Gives list of element types, with optional wildcards, for which the local coordinate system will be shown in the viewer. Default: “MARK* WATCH*”.
  • nviewpoints — Number of viewpoints to generate and embed in file. Moving between viewpoints using keystroke commands is easier than “flying” using the keypad.
