SYNOPSIS

viper [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Viper is a minimalistic scientific plotter and run-time visualization module. Some its the features includes:

* Light-weight and minimalistic
* Extended keybindings
* Interactive
* Save as png, VTK
* 2D and 3D
* Scalar, vector, and displacement fields
* Multiple input formats
* In PyCC mode; direct plotting of NumPy arrays over DOLFIN meshes
* Can be used as standalone plotting application, or used as part of
  PyDOLFIN 

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Display help text and exit.

-i file, --input file

Specify input file.

-o file, --output file

Specify output file.

-l lut file, --lut lut file

Specify lookup table (LUT) file.

-d data file, --data data file

Specify data file.

EXAMPLE

Viper has support for visualizing meshes and solutions in DOLFIN:

       from dolfin import *

       # Plot a mesh

       mesh = UnitCube(16, 16, 16)

       plot(mesh)

       # Plot a scalar function

       u = Function("poisson.xml")

       plot(u)

       # Plot a vector function as a displacement field

       d = Function("elasticity.xml")

       plot(d, mode="displacement")

       # Save as png

       p = plot(mesh)

       p.write_png("mesh.png")

       # Save as VTK

       p = plot(u)

       p.write_vtk("poisson.vtk")
