GUI vars panel

The second panel of the PyPLUTO GUI is the variables panel, which allows the user to select and manipulate the loaded variables.

The user can select the variable to be plotted by choosing from the loaded variables. Note that custom variables are not available yet, but they will be implemented in the future.

Option: transpose

The transpose button allows the user to transpose the selected variable. Although this is not a strictly essential, it will enhance the visualization of the data, especially for 2D plots involving different codes.

Option: axes

The x- and y-axes (in case of 2D plots) can also be selected here. The user can choose the x- and y-axes from the loaded variables, allowing for a flexible visualization of the data. This is particularly useful when the user wants to plot variables from a non-cartesian geometry, such as spherical or cylindrical coordinates. The naming convention is the same as in the Load class, where the “p” or “c” suffixes indicate polar or cartesian mesh transformation, respectively.

Option: slices

In presence of 3D data, or in case the user wants to visualize a 1D slice of 2D data, the user can select the desired slice by choosing from the available slices. The slices are automatically generated based on the loaded data.
