Event display tutorial

Installing Atlantis

• Download the latest version of atlantis at: http://atlantis.web.cern.ch/atlantis/atlantis_10.0.0-20050408.zip.

• Unzip atlantis

unzip atlantis_10.0.0-20050408.zip

• Done!

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

Creating event display files with JiveXML

• Obtain an AFS token at cern: klog <cern_userid>@cern.ch and type your CERN AFS password at the prompt.

• Check-out and compile the latest version of JiveXML
