[Gate-users] Analyzing 3D Dose in Octave

[Steve Hupcher]

Thank you both for the response. Based on the GATE user guide, it looks
like the root file can only be used for 1D and 2D distributions. When I try
to get a 3D dose distribution by changing /gate/actor/doseDistribution/save
to a .txt file, it looks like I only get dose along the direction of beam
propagation. Can I create ASCII or other Octave-friendly files that will
give me the dose to a volume? Or is there a way to create a series of 2D
ASCII files that I can combine to make a 3D volume?

Thanks!
