In psana-python we support two types of visualization: the standard python matplotlib, and a more interactive form of plotting that can also be used for real-time monitoring called "psmon".
A simple matplotlib script can be seen in this example. A corresponding version in psmon (which allows much more "interaction" with the plot) is in /reg/g/psdm/tutorials/examplePython/psmonLocal.py:
from psana import *
ds = DataSource('exp=xpptut15:run=54:smd')
det = Detector('cspad',ds.env())
for nevent,evt in enumerate(ds.events()):
img = det.image(evt)
break
from psmon.plots import Image
from psmon import publish
# to display the plot from within this script
publish.local = True
plotimg = Image(0,"CsPad",img)
publish.send('IMAGE',plotimg)
psmon is also able to send plots over the network, which is useful for real-time monitoring. To do this, do not set publish.local=True (see script in This script lives in /reg/g/psdm/tutorials/examplePython/psmonRemote.py):
from psana import *
from psmon.plots import Image
from psmon import publish
ds = DataSource('exp=xpptut15:run=54:smd')
det = Detector('cspad',ds.env())
for nevent,evt in enumerate(ds.events()):
img = det.image(evt)
plotimg = Image(0,"CsPad",img)
publish.send('IMAGE',plotimg)
raw_input('Hit <CR> for next event')
if nevent>=2: break
Then this plot can then be viewed (by multiple people, if desired) using:
psplot -s <hostname> IMAGE
The "-s <hostname>" argument does not need to be included if "psplot" is run on the same machine as the script that is providing the plot.
