compare_tsite

compare_site is a shell script that reads two sopale text output files. From them it extracts the e= values, as a function of time step and iteration. Then it invokes the IDL plot program plot_tsite. plot_tsite creates a plot with three elements:

• log10 of e1 = f1(ts,it); from the first file
• log10 of e2 = f2(ts,it); from the second file
• log10 of e3 = abs(f1(ts,it) - f2(ts,it)); the difference

Inputs

The program (shell script) would like to have these parameters:

• the version of bmnt_library to be used, preceeded by an underscore.
• the name of one sopale text output file
• the name of another sopale text output file

on the command line. If they are not present, a "usage" message will be printed.

From stdin, it reads

• maximum time step
• maximum iteration
• output device [X] or [ps]

Outputs

The output is to X or a postscript file in the current directory.

Running

Type:

• "~dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/compare_tsite"

Running on castor

compare_tsite is a shell script. It is normal for shell scripts to start with a line like
#!/bin/sh

which on GNU/Linux systems usually means bash. On our castor, it means something else, and the script fails. It will run if the first line is changed to
#!/usr/bin/bash

So if I forget to change it on castor, please remind me.
