4.4 Miscellaneous Parameters

debug string list
This parameter accepts a comma or space delimited set of debugging flags, which causes imageplot to emit extra information to stderr. The available flags are:
time
output the amount of time taken to read and process the input rays. This does not include time to parse the sparse tree and output the rays.
tree_dump
If the sparse matrix method is used, the tree will be dumped to the standard error stream after it has been constructed and filled.
efficiency
The sparse matrix representation may have unused bins as part of its space-saving strategy (see Sparse). This flag causes the sparse matrix tree to be parsed and the bin usage efficiency to be determined.
pix_limits
If the grid scheme supports the use of dynamic grid limits (see Backend), this flag causes the indices of the grid limits to be written to the standard error if an image is created.
coord_limits
If the grid scheme supports the use of dynamic grid limits (see Backend), this flag causes the coordinates of the grid limits to be written to the standard error if an image is created.
dimen
If the grid scheme supports the use of dynamic grid limits (see Backend), this flag causes the number of bins in each dimension to be written to the standard error if an image is created.

bufsz float [Mb]
spatquant uses this limit to determine if it has enough memory to create a core image. If the image would require more memory than bufsz, it uses sparse mode. Note that there is no guarantee that sparse mode will use less than bufsz Mb!!
join_pad int
extend_pad int
These parameters are used to tune the efficiency of the sparse matrix implementation. Please don't touch! The default for join_pad is ‘6’, for extend_pad, ‘4’.
version boolean
If true, print the version of the program and exit.
