SpectraPLOT: Overview

SpectraPLOT is a graphical tool that can be used to conveniently display output from SPECT3D. It is being developed as a replacement for SPECT3D Visualizer.

SpectraPLOT can be used to display a variety of data, including:

• Spectra
• Images (and from that Drilldown plots)
• Time-Dependent Absolute Flux Levels
• Streaked Spectra
• Space-Resolved Spectra

It features a user-friendly graphical interface for viewing a wide variety of results from SPECT3D simulations, and applying various instrumental effects to the simulated images and spectra, such as:

• Time integration
• Spectral resolution
• Spatial resolution

SpectraPLOT has been designed to run on multiple platforms (currently, Windows and Linux are supported, Mac version is under development).

Differences between Visualizer and SpectraPLOT include:

• SpectraPLOT can be used to view the results of multiple SPECT3D runs.
• SpectraPLOT uses an updated version of Prism's plot library, which is designed to support a wider variety of 2-D and 3-D plot surfaces.
• SpectraPLOT is a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application, and is designed to more effectively deal with multiple plot windows.
