Mitch's Strange Attractor Zoo Development

This page is for people who really want to try and get the automation in src/ working on their system. First let's take a look at the overall data flow:

Everything is generated from the code in the src/ directory; however, the makefile and templates contain some bits that will need to be adjusted:

makefile

Several variables need to be adjusted:

• IMG_VIEWER On windows you can use "explorer".
• CSV_2_VTU You can find this script here
• PVP This ships with Paraview
• MRKISS_PATH Consult the MRKISS documentation

curve_template.py

Paraview uses absolute paths in the API. So you will need to correct the path names in the Python script to your system. In particular the following lines require adjustment:

• curveMJR = XMLUnstructuredGridReader(registrationName='curve_NAME.vtu', FileName...
• SaveScreenshot("C:/Users/richmit/MJR/world/my_prog/StrangeAttractorZoo/src/curve...
• ExportView('C:/Users/richmit/MJR/world/my_prog/StrangeAttractorZoo/src/curve_NAM...

In addition you will need a bunch of stuff:

• bash
• GNU make
• Fortran compiler (Consult the MRKISS documentation for more)
• Ruby 3
• Paraview with pvpython
• GNU Plot
• wget

Environments I have used successfully:

Windows

On Windows I use MSYS2 for a unix development environment and the standard Paraview installer for Windows.

Linux

Debian 13.
