Visualization of a particle model easiest way?

[mgorbach]

Hello,
I have a working monte carlo model of a system of cobalt nanoparticles. I am looking for a way to visualize their locations, as output from the model in the form of files with (x,y) or (x,y,z) coordinates. I also need to shown on the same image the vectors showing their magnetic moments (output from simulation as angles form 0 to 2pi). I have been using gnuplot up to this point, but now i need to show two different radii of particles and I can not have gnuplot draw circles of specific sizes. All I can do is play with the point size, but this is in any way connected to the mathematical real scale of the graph gnuplot outputs. I would like to get this visualization as quickly as possible so I can actually spend time working on the model instead of drawing circles.
Essentially, I just need to draw circles with specific radii and arrows at certain angles using data loaded from a text file.
What is the quickest way to do this?

I can recommend the use of the GDIS software for visualization.

I completely understand the need for efficient and accurate visualization of data. In this case, I would recommend using a specialized software or programming language specifically designed for scientific visualization, such as MATLAB, Python, or R. These tools have built-in functions and libraries that can handle complex data and produce high-quality visualizations, including 3D plots and customizable graphics.
Alternatively, you could also try using a visualization software specifically designed for particle simulations, such as OVITO or VMD. These programs have tools and features specifically tailored for visualizing particle models, including the ability to customize particle sizes and orientations.
I would also suggest exploring the use of visualization packages or plugins within your current simulation software, as they may have the capability to produce the desired visualizations.
Overall, the key is to find a tool that can handle your data and produce the desired visualizations efficiently, allowing you to focus on your research and model development.
