Starlab version 4.4.1 program created on Apr 27 2005 at 23:00:25 source file /home/steve/starlab/src/node/dyn/hdyn/xutil/snap_to_image.C snap_to_image: Construct images of a series of snapshots. Options: -1 combine all frames in a simgle image [yes] -a produce a series of frames for animation [no] -c compress the image file(s) using gzip [no] -C colormap specify a colormap file name [no] -d delete frames once the animation is made [no] -f filename specify root name of image files ["-" --> stdout] -F format specify image file format (0 = PNG, 1 = SUN, 2 = GIF) [0] -g write GIF files -- same as "-F 2" [no] -G toggle forcing particles to grid (nicer single frames, but jerkier movies) [true] -H toggle Herzsprung-Russel diagram or positional plot [position] -i index specify (real) color index (0-1) for all stars [use internal index] -l scale specify width of field of view (+/- scale) [3] -L loop specify number of loops in animation [10] -m use mass to determine star color and/or size [no] -n nmax specify maximum number of images to produce [Inf] -N nbody color using a (small-N) colormap [no] -o filename same as -f (more standard name) -O option specify how to choose the plot origin [0] 0: as is (don't adjust) 1: initial center of mass 2: modified center of mass of each frame -p psize specify (maximum) star radius/scale, in pixels (psize < 0 ==> lower limit on pixel size = 0, otherwise, limit = 1) [0 (single image), 1 (animation)] -P axis specify projection axis [z] -q toggle suppression of diagnostic output [don't suppress] -r use stellar radius to set point size [no] -R animate in reverse [no] -s nx ny specify image size, in pixels [256] -S nskip specify snaps to skip between images [0] -t test the color map [don't test] -T specify precedence scheme for points in the image (c = color, r = radius, z = depth) [z] -x specify right (log effective temparature) edge of HRD (-H only) [3] -X specify left (log effective temparature) edge of HRD (-H only) [5] -y specify minimum (log luminosity/Lsun) limit of HRD (-H only) [-3] -Y specify maximum (log luminosity/Lsun) limit of HRD (-H only) [3] Notes: 1. If animations are specified, an MNG or animated GIF file will be created. The individual frames will be retained unless the "-d" option is set. 2. If PNG output is requested and the PNG libraries are unavailable, then GIF output is produced instead. 3. The "T" option determines which attribute is favored in displaying a particle in the image. The default is depth, but we can also raise particles based on color or radius.
