# Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install mayavi2 python-matplotlib python-numpy python-scipy ipython

# Set pythonpath environment variable:
echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/analysator" >> $HOME/.bashrc

# Using Analysator:
#################################################
module load mayavi2   # Load mayavi2 dependencies, if necessary (e.g. CSC system)
ipython               # Start ipython
import pytools as pt  # Import Analysator


# Navigating functions:
pt.calculations.pitch_angles? #press [Enter]
pt.vlsvfile.VlsvReader? #press [Enter]
pt.plot.plot_colormap? #press [Enter]
pt.plot.plot_vdf? #press [Enter]


# For non-interactive mode (also when no X is available):
# set the environment variable PTNONINTERACTIVE to any value before launching
# python/ipython. If in interactive mode, experimental non-blocking
# windows via matplotlib.pyplot.ion() are in use.
#################################################
export PTNONINTERACTIVE=1

# For selecting a backend manually (if Agg or TkAgg is not available)
#################################################
export PTBACKEND=Qt5Agg

# For disabling full LaTeX formatted output (if texlive is not installed)
#################################################
export PTNOLATEX=1

# For setting the default output directory (default: $HOME/Plots)
#################################################
export PTOUTPUTDIR=/proj/USERNAME/Plots/

# If using a jupyter notebook on the UH hub system, you can activate interactive plot windows with
# %matplotlib ipympl or %matplotlib notebook before importing pytools

# Examples and instructions for batch scripting (on CSC's system) are found in
# examples/generate_panel.py and examples/generate_movie.sh
