Running Atlantis

- After the previous step you can now run atlantis by typing:

java -jar atlantis/atlantis.jar

- Or if you would like to look at event displays reconstructed with ATLFAST type:

java -jar atlantis/atlantis.jar Fast

- Atlantis versions require JAVA version 1.4 or higher to run.

- Atlantis will start-up with an example event display file with which you can play around a bit. You can select another event display by going to "File" followed by "Read event" in the Atlantis GUI window. Atlantis event displays are stored in the form of a .xml file. The next section will explain how to create your own event display files using JiveXML
