No graphs plotting

[santana_loren9]

I am just starting with NEURON. I decided to work through the following tutorial: http://web.mit.edu/neuron_v7.4/nrntutht ... /tutA.html

I did everything through the end, however, when I click on graphs and voltage, no graph shows up. Same thing when I click on the other links under graph. I know I have all the needed software (XQuartz , Python, Command Line Tools, NEURON) but I can't figure out why graphs aren't showing. Can someone help?
Thanks.

First, does your NEURON installation work properly? Run neurondemo, select the "Release" example by clicking on the corresponding radio button, then click on the RunControl's "Init & Run" button. Do the graphs show plots of v etc. vs time?

Hi Ted,

Thanks for the reply. I did as you asked and graphs were produced when I clicked init&run.
I feel so foolish now. After doing that, I realized that clicking on the graph button isn't sufficient. I have to first click on tools > runcontrol >init&run.

Thank you.

Does this mean that the problem is solved?

Never feel embarrassed about asking a question, no matter how obvious the answer may seem in retrospect. Nobody is born knowing how to do this stuff. Software user interfaces are often far from intuitive, no matter how simple and intuitive they may seem to the programmers that developed them.

Thank you. Yes, that problem was solved. Sorry, didn't see this post.
