User's Manual

The Playmol User's Manual is available online here. You can also generate a local version if you have Doxygen (version 1.8 or later) installed in your system. If you do not have Doxygen, you can download and install it by:

wget http://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.8.11.src.tar.gz
tar -zxvf doxygen-1.8.11.src.tar.gz
cd doxygen-1.8.11/
sudo apt-get install cmake flex bison
mkdir build && cd build/
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

In order to generate the local User's Manual, please go to the playmol directory and execute:

make doc

The manual will be available as a file playmol/doc/html/index.html, which you can open using your favorite web browser.

Using Playmol

Once Playmol is installed, you can execute a series of input scripts by typing:

playmol file-1 [file-2 ...]

This will execute the files in sequence as if they were a unique script. To execute the scripts one at a time, just run playmol multiple times.

Another way of executing a playmol script is by starting it with the following shebang and then making it executable (e.g. via chmod +x):

#!/usr/local/bin/playmol
