Accelerator Visualization Recipies for ParaView

The SLAC

...

Toolbar

The SLAC Toolbox is an extra toolbar added into ParaView. Its purpose is to accelerate workflow by minimizing GUI interaction for commonly performed tasks. Everything done via the SLAC Toolbar can also be done via the normal ParaView GUI. In the toolbar, the steps needed for various accelerator visualization recipes are streamlined to require only one mouse click.

The first time you run ParaView, you will likely not see the SLAC Toolbar.  It's included with the ParaView distribution, but is disabled by default.

To enable the SLAC Toolbar, go to "Tools --> Manage Plugins".  Select "SLACTools" and press "Load Selected" which loads the plugin for now.  Then, click on the SLACTools "+" and check the box by "Auto Load" so this plugin will default to always load.

When ParaView first comes up, click the SLAC Folder in the toolbar. This has places to enter the name of the mesh, and optionally, the name(s) of field files and/or particle files. On hitting "OK", the other icons in the toolbar become active, if their corresponding data has been loaded (e.g., the "e" and "b" field icons will become active if fields are loaded, but will remain greyed out if no fields were specified).
