| 1 | +## Introduction |
| 2 | +The DELPHI event display, also known as 'DELGRA', is used to visualise reconstructed events. This document gives a brief introduction |
| 3 | +on how to start up the display. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Important note: The event display only works on reconstructed data, not on raw data. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Directory structure |
| 8 | +DELGRA expects to see a folder called graexe in your home directory, with 4 subfolders in it. These are called `data`, `hcopy`, `macro`, `run`. |
| 9 | +In case it does not find the graexe folder, it will try to create them. They have the following meaning |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +* graexe/data: Default folder for reconstructed date files which are to be scanned. |
| 12 | +* graexe/hcopy: DELGRA allows to print the current view into a file. This is where the output of these screenshots will go. |
| 13 | +* graexe/macro: Folder for macros. |
| 14 | +* graexe/run: This folder contains log files from running the program. Consult it in case the program does not work correctly or crashed. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Starting the event display |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Start the event display from a shell from your home directory: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | +cd |
| 22 | +rungra |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +It should start up showing an hour glass, and a welcome box, like this: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +<p><center><img src="/static/docs/delphi-guide-docker/delgra_startup_1.png" width="60%"></center></p> |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +After pressing on OK in the welcome box, the program will bring up the file dialog where you can select the folder and the file to be read in: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +<p><center><img src="/static/docs/delphi-guide-docker/delgra_startup_2.png" width="60%"></center></p> |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Change into the ~/graexe/data folder and select a suitable file. |
| 34 | +In the screenshot here, there is a file called `simana.sdst`. This is a short DST file of simulated data, so can be selected for viewing. |
| 35 | +Select it and press `Ok` in that dialog. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Next, the event display will ask for the `event number` in this `run` to be read: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +<p><center><img src="/static/docs/delphi-guide-docker/delgra_startup_3.png" width="60%"></center></p> |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Just press OK or return to start reading the first event. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +You will see the first event, can rotate it, zoom in, and analyze it, or you can skip to the next event, going through them one by one. Here's a screen shot of event number 5, viewed at a slightly different angle: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +<p><center><img src="/static/docs/delphi-guide-docker/delgra_startup_4.png" width="60%"></center></p> |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Note that due to possibly different random number seeds, the sequence may look different for you. |
