[FLASH-USERS] xflash3 not starting in IDL

Mon Dec 4 13:24:00 EST 2023

Yes, your IDL widget is too big for the screen.
IDL windows can scale with your screen's resolution and default font size.
I don't know why the box width is so large. IDL may be misidentifying your screen dimensions.

So I would start by increasing your screen resolution.
There's also some stuff you can change in your .Xdefaults file.

For additional help with that, questions are best directed toward IDL folks.

Dear Shane,

I fall into another issue! As you can see in the attached screenshot, towards the bottom, the 'Plot' option is not visible (perhaps the lower portion of the xflash3 prompt extends beyond screen size...); due to this, I am not able to plot any results. Is it a resolution-related issue? If yes, do we have any option to change the resolution of the xflash3 prompt?  It will be very helpful for me if you have any suggestions regarding this.

I am sorry if it is a very trivial issue.

With best regards,
Amar

Dear Shane,

Many thanks for your reply. I could see that setting $IDL_DIR properly resolved the issue, and now I can open the XFLASH3 prompt in my IDL. I have also attached a screenshot of the XFLASH3 prompt opening in my system.

With best regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,

I think you may simply be missing $IDL_DIR/lib in your $IDL_PATH.

Attached is the documentation for setting up xflash3.

Dear FLASH users,

After installing, I could successfully run FLASH using the command: mpirun -np 8 flash4 -par_file flash.par

I could see that the output files are produced as mentioned in user guide section 2.4.

Thereafter, I followed the guidelines to set the environment variables for xflash3 routine in my .bashrc file:

export XFLASH3_DIR=/home/amar/Downloads/FLASH/FLASH4.7.1/tools/fidlr3.0

export IDL_PATH=$XFLASH3_DIR:$IDL_PATH

However, when I type xflash3 and hit Enter in the idl prompt, following error messages appear instead of main widget of xflash3:

% Compiled module: XFLASH3.

Is it because of a different IDL version in my system (I have IDL Version 7.0.6 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2008, ITT Visual Information Solutions )
I shall be highly thankful for any explanation of this issue and any possible solution.

With best regards,
Amar
