when an error occurs in the HOC code during a simulation executed from Python, the execution should halt That is what is supposed to happen. Sorry, h('hoc code') does not raise an exception on a hoc error, it returns 0 on failure and 1 on success. It's behavior is similar to https://nrn.readthedocs...

Your example code above worked for me (after prefixing "from neuron import h"). The show diameter feature for pyplot is only available in version 9. For mac, linux you can pip install NEURON-nightly For windows the latest master build is (see the first master label at https://github.com/ne...

After looking around a bit in the github history for nrn, my first impression is that show diameter is supposed to work with plotly. I.e. https://github.com/neuronsimulator/nrn/pull/2404 at the end of June 2023 with the same mode call as works for InterViews GUI PlotShape. After some experimenting, ...

when an error occurs in the HOC code during a simulation executed from Python, the execution should halt That is what is supposed to happen. What kind of computer are you using and what is the NEURON version. A short example would be helpful. E.g. from neuron import h h(''' proc test() { print 1/0 ...

ps.show(1) At least for the classical InterViews nrn gui, the diameter is shown when the arg to show is 0. (as specified in https://nrn.readthedocs.io/en/8.2.3/python/visualization/shape.html#Shape.show ) Often times, the neurites ar so slender compared to length, it is not easy to see the diameter...

A terminal window does open but does not offer a prompt for commands: The launch mechanism dates back to Macos 9. I never learned xcode sufficiently to bring it into the 21st century. Anyway, double clicking on nrngui.app after a few intermediate steps ultimately starts a terminal window that execu...

That's great progress. Sadly, I don't know how to diagnose issues at the DISPLAY level of XQuartz so am at a loss as to how to extend the working behavior to launching by double clicking the app icons. When the app icon is launched, does a terminal window pop up? And is the value of DISPLAY in that ...

Yes. The graphics work when nrngui is launched from an xterm. (the xterm was launched from a terminal window)

After installing Sonoma, neurondemo started from a terminal and the graphics works. I do see the <stdin>:149: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.' <stdin>:197: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.' oc> and will try to trace that down. But it does not seem related to the GUI issue. In my...

I have an Apple M1 Ventura 13.6, xquartz 2.8.5, and a bunch of pythons including python-3.12.2. I'll upgrade to Sonoma 14.3.1 and see what happens.

I just uploaded a mac pkg file at https://github.com/neuronsimulator/nrn/releases/tag/8.2.4 It is called nrn-8.2.4-12-g64efe0a14-macosx-10.9-universal2-py-38-39-310-311-312.pkg Please try that and let me know if it is not fully functional I think we are in the middle of fixing a newest xquartz/pytho...

You didn't mention how you launched the program. I'm guessing that you are running a NEURON version that dynamically loads mpi when you give it the -mpi arg. Otherwise the memory for nrnmpi_abort is NULL (hence the seg fault). Do you have a problem if you try mpiexec -n 1 nrniv -mpi -c 'mpiabort(-1)'

Try

The internal wrapper for MPI_Abort is not exposed to the interpreter. You can do that with a mod file $ cat abrt.mod NEURON {SUFFIX nothing} VERBATIM extern "C" { void nrnmpi_abort(int); } ENDVERBATIM PROCEDURE mpiabort(errcode) { VERBATIM { nrnmpi_abort(int(_lerrcode)); } ENDVERBATIM } Th...

From the interpreter, there is no way to control the GUI directly. One can only execute the button/menu actions.
