This wiki describes how to set up and use the `comet' program.

You can read an introduction to the comet project here(to return here, click on 'cometwiki' rather than using the browser back button).

Essential Information

How the Program Works

• Description of the Model
• Overview of Program Flow

Video Tutorials

• How to run the comet program on OS X
• How to make 3D isosurfaces.

Installing the Program

comet runs on any unix-like operating system, including OS X, Linux or Windows (under cygwin).

• Instructions for downloading and installing comet

Running the Program

The program is called from the command line. The command line parameters tell the program what to do (calculate a new run, re-process existing data, interactive 3D view etc.). A cometparams.ini file in the working directory tells the program detailed information about the model parameters to use for calculation and display.

• Command line parameters for the comet program
• Model settings in the cometparams.ini file
• Display settings in the cometparams.ini file
• Running comet on a cluster
