Graphical User Interface

As you run the launch.py script, a python console and the GUI should open. Alternatively, the GUI can be visualized on any browser using the URL http://localhost:8000/gui/html/page_main.html. The main menu of the GUI looks like this:

Here is a list of the components shown in the figure and marked with the green numbers

1. The bar on the top is the navigation bar: it is used no move between different menus. The menu currently active is highlighted in red in the menu (in this case the "Main menu").


2. The white space underneath the navigation bar is the layers display: it shows a picture of the sample modeled in the current NTMpy session. As different layers are added, the layers display start to draw each of them with a different color (see the figure below).


3. The panel under the blue header is the Files Menu, and it is use to save or load models.
   • The filename textbox ...
   • The path textbox ...
   • The file explorer ...
   • The new file button ...
   • The load file button ...
   • The save file button ...
   • The delete file button ...


4. The panel under the red header is the Simulation Menu. Further informations on the Simulation menu are presented in the page of the wiki "Run the simulation"


5. The space at the bottom of the GUI is the helpbar, it reports messages on the outcome of operations executed on the GUI. It either gives confirmation of execution in case of correct use of the GUI or it reports possible error causes in case a command does not execute as intended.

Here is shown an example of how the GUI appears after the file example1.json have been loaded and run.
