Print information for the entire state of the system: parameters, objects,
etc...
— Command: dump-parameters
Print global system parameters.
— Command: dump-objects
Print state and location of all objects.
— Command: dump-positions
Print location of all objects.
— Command: dump-energy
Print detailed kinetic and potential energy breakdown for the whole system.
Finally, ipple can export placements to other
visualization tools.
(It's the least I can do until a GUI is added!)
— Command: emit-dot [file]
Print to stdout or file in the dot language (from graphviz), suitable
for generating a diagram of the current state of objects.
Recommendation: run the output through the
fdp (force-directed placement) command:
fdp -Tpdf input -o output.pdf.
— Command: emit-fig [file]
Print to stdout or file in the fig language (xfig), suitable
for generating a diagram of the current state of objects.
Recommendation: run the output through the
fig2dev export command, such as:
fig2dev -Lpdf input.fig -o output.pdf.
