No plots in MG5 2.1.2 at NLO

Asked by Fethou

Dear MadGraph Team,

Hello. Due to some reasons, i have to use the 2.1.2 version of MG5 but the 2.2.2 version works fine.
My problem is to obtain the plots for LO and NLO calculations (with MG 2.1.2), it seems that i have no errors but i can't obtain plots.
So with this topic:
https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes/ticket/305 (thank's to Olivier)
i was able to obtain plots in LO calculations, but the problem persists at the NLO.
Here is the end of the output of the 2.2.2 version (which works fine)

As you can see, there is no error and no plot is created, i think that it is because the version of the lhe file is 1.0 and not 3.0 so what can i do or install??

Best regards,
Fethou.

Hi,

The plotting of NLO plot was not implemented in 2.1.2.
I think that I introduce those plot in 2.2.1.

Cheers,

Olivier
