Enable Ascent In Situ Visualization in PenningTrap Example
This PR integrates Ascent in situ visualization into the PenningTrap example in IPPL. It enables real-time visualization of particle data during simulation without requiring post-processing, significantly improving analysis workflows.
Make sure to configure IPPL with Ascent support:
cmake -DENABLE_ASCENT=ON -DASCENT_DIR=/path/to/ascent ..
Victor thanks for the PR. If you did not have done already, could I ask you to pull the master into #350? Thanks!!
Thanks a lot @mvictoras for making this interface and the PR. Does it already include the Catalyst stuffs from @jhgoebbert ? It definitely includes some but I am not sure if it includes all of it. I am not sure what is the best strategy here. May be we update this branch/PR with @jhgoebbert 's branch from his fork as well as the current Ippl master and just merge only this? @jhgoebbert please feel free to comment on it. I think it is better to merge as soon as possible and then improve upon it (e.g. with respect to organization etc.) rather than the individual floating branches in every one's own fork. What do you guys think?
