%  Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation
%  Author: Ian Kelley
%  Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002
%
%  Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex
%  will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system.
%  The scripts employed by the make system automatically include
%  pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the
%  relevant thorn CCL files.
%
%  This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your
%  documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More
%  information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide.
%
%  Guidelines:
%   - Do not change anything before the line
%       % START CACTUS THORNGUIDE",
%     except for filling in the title, author, date, etc. fields.
%        - Each of these fields should only be on ONE line.
%        - Author names should be separated with a \\ or a comma.
%   - You can define your own macros, but they must appear after
%     the START CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and must not redefine standard
%     latex commands.
%   - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations',
%     'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following
%     convention:
%       ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL
%     For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and
%     thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps
%   - Graphics should only be included using the graphicx package.
%     More specifically, with the "\includegraphics" command.  Do
%     not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This
%     will allow us to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide
%     via pdflatex.
%   - References should be included with the latex "\bibitem" command.
%   - Use \begin{abstract}...\end{abstract} instead of \abstract{...}
%   - Do not use \appendix, instead include any appendices you need as
%     standard sections.
%   - For the benefit of our Perl scripts, and for future extensions,
%     please use simple latex.
%
% *======================================================================*
%
% Example of including a graphic image:
%    \begin{figure}[ht]
% 	\begin{center}
%    	   \includegraphics[width=6cm]{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyFigure}
% 	\end{center}
% 	\caption{Illustration of this and that}
% 	\label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
%    \end{figure}
%
% Example of using a label:
%   \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
%
% Example of a citation:
%    \cite{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
%
% Example of including a reference
%   \bibitem{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
%   {J. Author, {\em The Title of the Book, Journal, or periodical}, 1 (1999),
%   1--16. {\tt http://www.nowhere.com/}}

\section{Introduction}



%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Utilities}
\label{sec:utils}

These scripts may be useful handling CarpetIOASCII data:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Carpet2ygraph.pl} A perl script to convert to a format
  suitable for the {\it xgraph} or {\it ygraph} packages of P. Walker
  and D. Pollney.
\item {\bf mergeCarpetIOScalar.pl} A perl script to remove duplicate datasets from file(s).
\end{itemize}

The first script resides in CarpetIOASCII/src/utils and was meant primarily to convert 1D data,
since the CarpetIOScalar data format is easily readable also by ygraph. Anyway, this script converts
also scalar data files to the original 2-column ygraph format.
Usage: {\tt Carpet2ygraphCat.pl Inputfile}.

The second script can be used to merge CarpetIOScalar output written before and after recovery. It
reads one or more files in CarpetIOScalar format and writes their contents to STDOUT, eliminating
duplicate datasets (all but the last occurance are discarded), which may be created when a run died
abruptly without checkpointing at the last output itaration and is recovered from a previous
checkpoint.  
Usage: {\tt mergeCarpetIOScalar.pl list of files}. \\
Example 1: {\tt mergeCarpetIOScalar.pl alp.norm1.asc > alp.norm1.asc.merged}.\\ 
Example 2: {\tt mergeCarpetIOScalar.pl alp.norm1.asc.firstCHKPT alp.norm1.asc.secondCHKPT > alp.norm1.asc.merged}.\\
This script was written by Thomas Radke.
