Visualisation of plasma mirrors

• LocalPropagation/: tools to propagate locally a matrix
  • process_data contains the pre-processing that propagates the data and creates the frames.
  • main.py: contains a paraview ProgrammableSource that read frames as files. Those frames are generated using the scripts in process_data.
  • debug.py: contains a paraview ProgrammableSource to be used in Debug mode (set DEBUG_GAUSSIAN_BEAM) in the config. This displays a gaussian beam (also read from files).
• InSitu/: Ascent & Paraview tools or scripts
  • ascent-paraview-insitu.py: called by ascent, this uses WarpX's LowFreq filter (Neil's debug branch), and displays the data.
  • ascent-paraview-fft-insitu.py: called by ascent, this performs FFTs manually and displays the data.
  • ascent_actions/: various ascent_actions.yaml examples
• ParaViewObjects/
  • utils.py: some functions used by the scripts to display fields or points
  • ReadImageSource/: a programmable source that read files exported locally
  • FFTFilter/: a programmable filter that performs frequency filtering

How to use (NOT IN SITU)

1. Build the numpy files using the convert hdf5 tools
2. Process the data by calling LocalPropagation/process_data/process.py
3. In paraview, run the LocalPropagation/main.py script to import the ProgrammableSources.

How to use (IN SITU)

You need WarpX compiled with Ascent+Python

1. Copy InSitu/ascent_actions/ascent_actions_paraview.yaml to your ascent_actions.yaml
2. Setup all the paths properly inside the files
3. Run WarpX
