Once selected from the menu this programme will ask for the dimensions of the data set. It requires all three dimensions, eg.
please enter dimensions of the data X Y Z
16 16 16
You will then be prompted to choose whether to type in the gamma matrix (44) element by element, or load it in from a file (default gamma.dat). Your matrix will now be stored in gamma.dat for further use. The gamma matrix is a complex matrix so each element has a real and imaginary part. If an element had a real part of 0.0 and an imaginary part of 1.5 then the user would enter:
( 0.0 , 1.5 ) Return
For example the relevant matrix for the pion ()
(1.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (1.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (1.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (0.0 , 0.0) (1.0 , 0.0)would be entered in as follows:
GAMMA MATRIX ------------ Please enter in the matrix by elements when prompted file (1) or enter (2) USER> 2 element ( 1, 1) USER> (1.0,0.0) element ( 1, 2) USER> (0.0,0.0) element ( 1, 3) USER> (0.0,0.0) element ( 1, 4) USER> (0.0,0.0) element ( 2, 1) USER> (0.0,0.0)
etc...
The gamma matrix will be displayed for verification. Next the programme requires the filenames of the data matrices (see section 4.4 for more information on entering filenames).
The resulting output data file contains data, in the form of floating point numbers, X varying fastest then Y, then Z, which could now be visualised. However use of the next two programmes is recommended for more meaningful visualisation.
