So, when creating a dx map, you get a nice image.
If a text file where to provide the mapping of chi2 values from the
parameters, you would get a better feeling with the parameters.
So, this i just a possibility to examine the dx_map creation.
This is what I am after.

Hi,
Then I would suggest something much more powerful! The dx.map user
function is currently only for 3 dimensions or parameters, so it is
rather useless for looking for a global minimum if the parameter
values of the other dimensions are not set to the values of that
unknown minimum!
I would therefore suggest a much, much more powerful user function
that will be very quick for you to implement. It could be called
maybe the minimise.grid_map or minimise.map_space user function. You
can create this by simple duplication of the minimise.grid_search user
function code, but just add a new argument for an output text file.
Then you set up your target function and loop over the parameter space
yourself (by first creating a massive parameter grid) and then calling
the target function and placing the returned chi2 value into the text
file. As your dimensions are not limited - though you could extend it
so you only use a subset of parameters just as in the dx.map user
function - you will be able to see much more of the space. Is this
what you would be after?
Regards,
Edward

Hi Edward.
The reason I am looking into this, is that I maybe have some maps which
shows that relax did not find the global minimum.
So, I look into my data, and will create the files for inspection.

Follow-up Comment #2, task #7860 (project relax):
Using the 'map_type', and adding a new section 'plain text', then this
could
be extended to map out 4, 5, or much higher dimensions as well. This
could
almost be a new user function though, as half of the dx.map user
function
options will not be used.

Re: [task #7860] When dx_map is issued, create a parameter file which maps parameters to chi2 value.
