Plotting capabilities are implemented in DICE to allow the user to view graphical representations of neutron spectra such as the flux, reaction rates, or sensitivity coefficients. The information used by DICE for the plotting is contained in external text files. These files are not contained within the database.

 

Zooming

 

The mouse can be used to zoom to a particular region of the graph. Using the mouse, the user draws a rectangle that defines the [xmin, xmax] and [ymin, ymax] boundaries. Alternatively, the user can enter specific values for these limits in the lower right under "Plot Bounds". By right clicking or pressing the "Reset Zoom" button, the user can return to the default zoom level displaying the whole energy range and the maximum range for the Y axis.
