We did this tools to validate ns-2 trace files generated by tools such
as VanetMobiSim or SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility). However, ns-2 
Trace Toolkit is not limited to those tools and works with any ns-2 
trace files.



Minimun Requirements:
  - Java JDK 1.5.0 or higher
  - RAM: 1GB
  - CPU: 1GHz


How to run:
In Windows OS, double click in ns-2 Trace Toolkit shortcut 
(ns2TraceToolkit). In Linux OS, use the command line and go to the 
"dist" directory to execute "java -jar ns2_Toolkit.jar".


Purpose of Shift:
When you generate ns-2 trace files with some tools 
(e.g., VanetMobiSim), the X and Y value of the positions of nodes can 
be very big due to the projection. So if you do not apply a "Shift", 
all your nodes will be moving in a small rectangular area during the 
simulation and will not take advantage of all the space of your GUI. 
To avoid this, use a "Shift". In most case, you can use 0.0 for the 
offset from origin for X and Y axis for nodes positions. In this case,
the lower left corner of movement of your nodes will be the origin.
