JetStream is a java library for GDS2. It will create, read/write, and view GDS2 files. It will also read in v30 (Jeol ebeam) files. Via pyjnius the JetStream library functions can also be accessed from python programs. CNF has installed Python3 and the ipython interpreter for accessing JetStream library functions via Python.
JetStream is installed on the CNF Conversion Computers.
Please note that the built-in JetStream viewer may be a bit sluggish as a result of running on a remote system – this is a JAVA limitation.
On the CNF conversion computers, to start the ipython interactive interpreter with an environment setup for JetStream, type in the following command:
jetstream |
If you have not previously run the "jetstream" command or if you have cleared out your ipython "profile", the above "jetstream" command will re-setup the appropriate ipython startup files. You will see "Setting up yoru ipython environment for jetstream" in the output:
$ jetstream Setting up your ipython environment for jetstream Python 3.6.3 (default, Jan 9 2018, 10:18:08) Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information IPython 6.5.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help. In [1]: |
Start the NetBeans IDE with the following command on the CNF conversion computers:
netbeans |
Please note that the NetBeans window can be a bit sluggish as a result of running on a remote system – this is a JAVA limitation.
When setting up your project in NetBeans, the JetStream JAR library is installed in:
and the JetStream examples are installed in:
NOTE: xpra is not currently working... CNF Computing is looking into the problem.
To work around the combined inefficiencies of both X11 and JAVA, use "xpra" as follows:
In the Korat or Minx window, type in:
$ xpra start --start=netbeans /* OR INSTEAD for ipython: */ $ xpra start --start=xjetstream Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to: Actual display used: :1 Actual log file name is now: |
Note the number after the colon in the output from the "Actual display used" line. You can also list your displays with the following in the Korat or Minx window:
$ xpra list Found the following xpra sessions: /afs/cnf.cornell.edu/.../.xpra: LIVE session at :1 |
In the XTerm window, connect to your xpra display with (making appropriate substitutions for <username>, <korat_or_minx>, and <display number>:
$ xpra attach ssh:<username>@<korat_or_minx>:<display number> |
You will see a bunch of error output and then your netbeans/ipython window will appear.
After quitting netbeans or ipython, in your Korat or Minx window, quit the xpra server with (you might need to press RETURN once to get a prompt):
$ xpra stop :<display number> server requested disconnect: server shutdown xpra at :<display number> has exited. |
This will also quit xpra in the regular XTerm window.
