Javist

Brief instructions

• Start Javist with the command javist. Following are examples of alternative invocations.
  • bassist-simulator 100000 datafile | javist
    (run a simulator and pipe the result to Javist)
  • javist < simulator-result-file
    (read a file generated by a simulator)
  • javist
    (select the files to be analyzed within Javist)
• As the first action within Javist, always fill in the "Selection" part of the main window.
  • Select the attributes (variables/parameters) you want to be able to visualize in your session. In order to save memory, Javist will disgard the rest of the parameters.
  • Additionally, you can remove a number of "burn-in" iterations from the beginning of the result, and thin the data by including only every nth iteration.
  Press "OK" to confirm these global selections.
• After the global selection of attributes and iterations, you may open various graphs.
• Opening a graph window will automatically also open a "Settings" window for the new graph. Select the attribute(s) you want to visualize in that particular graph (optionally you can also select more burn-in or thinning), and the graph will be displayed.
• A number of graph windows can be open at the same time.
• The "print" option in graph windows does not print a figure. It outputs the information in a numeric form to selected files, which can then be used for printing with other tools.
