'''JSB to PNG''' will take a JSBSim file as input and will then output PNG images of the tables in that file. | |||
It will output both lines and carpet plots for 2D/3D tables. For 1D tables just line plot. | |||
JSB to PNG is written in Python. | |||
== Instructions == | |||
=== Required libraries === | |||
JSB to PNG requires Python with '''plotly.express''' and '''plotly.graph_objects''' libraries (recent version). | |||
For 2D and 3D tables <independentVar> tags '''must''' all have lookup attributes. | === JSBSim table requirements === | ||
Each table in the JSBSim input file that you want to graph '''must''' have <code>name</code> attribute in the <table> tag. That name will also be used a Y-axis title in the graphs. Do not have multiple tables with same name since its used in naming the image files also. | |||
For 2D and 3D tables <code><nowiki><independentVar></nowiki></code> tags '''must''' all have lookup attributes. | |||

=== Running JSB to PNG === | |||
JSB to PNG is used from the command line with this syntax: | |||
python jsb-to-png.py [filename] | |||
If no filename is specified as commandline argument then <code>jsb-test.xml</code> is assumed. | |||
When run, a folder will be created in working folder named same as the JSBSim input filename, but without the xml extension. | |||
For 2D and 3D tables it will graph both a lines and a carpet plot. | |||
In that folder PNG of the tables will be output, it '''will''' overwrite images if the folder is not empty. | |||
