Check/Modify Parameters

Thorn IOJpeg

Parameters in Cactus can be either fixed or steerable. Steerable parameters are those which can be modified during a simulation. To change steerable parameters, edit the values and press the submit button. Before applying the new parameter value, Cactus will check that the parameter lies in the allowed range. Note that there is currently no log of parameters which have been modified.

The tables below show the parameter name, current value and description. The default value of each parameter is shown in brackets at the end of the description.

Steerable Parameters

The following parameters are steerable, but you do not have authorisation to change them. To change parameters you must first register on the Simulation Control Page.

colormap autoHow to set the colormap (custom)
colormap_bias 0.5Bias automatic colormap generation towards red (low) or blue (high) (0.5)
colormap_factor 16How to scale float values to rgb color (32)
colormap_max 1maximum value to be mapped to colors (+1.0)
colormap_min -1minimum value to be mapped to colors (-1.0)
colormap_quality 75JPEG quality of level (75)
mode removeOutput mode to use (standard)
out_every 10How often to do IOJpeg output, overrides IO::out_every (-1)
out_vars wavetoy::phiVariables to output by IOJpeg ()
refinement_factor 20Refine each 2D slice by a certain factor (using interpolation) ? (1)
