How to add a text box to the OpenWorm muscle model sample?

[slarson]

We noticed the new OpenWorm muscle model geppetto sample is on live and had a chat about it today (check it out in the video of the hangout, conversation starts at 34:20)! Congrats on getting this out.

First question would be, having a look at the Geppetto.xml for this. If folks want to add a text box that has an explanation of this, how can this be done. A search of the documentation about widgets doesn't make it clear how to add such a box.

This is the culpable http://docs.geppetto.org/en/latest/popupW.html documentation ain't written yet :)
Adding the following will create a widget to put there a description.

G.addWidget(Widgets.POPUP);
Popup1.setMessage("Muscle model description");
Popup1.setName("Description");

As for the "cylinder" and "sphere" geometries they are coming from the NeuroML, see this for the cylinder: https://github.com/openworm/muscle_model/blob/master/NeuroML2/SingleCompMuscle.cell.nml#L13

As for the sphere it's an IAF cell without morphology that Geppetto represents as a Sphere.

Okay thanks. I've added a pull request to improve the documentation:
