Snapshot Format

StarryOrbits snapshots are stored in a plain text file (.txt extension) arranged like so:


N (= number of bodies)

T (= time)

m0 x0 y0 z0 vx0 vy0 vz0

m1 x1 ........


Where m0 = mass of body 0

x0 y0 z0 = positions of body 0

vx0 vy0 vz0 = velocities of body 0


Note the space between each number.

Floating point numbers are best stored in scientific notation for accuracy.
