Live and Show

A tutorial on using the live and show commands in axcli.

In this tutorial, you'll learn about:

• Using the live and show commands

• What frontends are available

axcli live

axcli's live command renders a simulation so it can be watched live.

axcli live <FILE> [-f|--frontend FRONTEND]

axcli show

The show command displays a simulation as a static plot, meaning that it has no animation.

axcli show <FILE> [-f|--frontend FRONTEND]

-f|--frontend

In Axinite, frontends are scripts that render a simulation. You can learn more here. You can pass in:

• vpython for a VPython frontend.

• plotly for a Plotly frontend.
