FunSliders is a simple GUI to manually explore the inputs of a function.
from funsliders import funsliders
def volume(x,y,z):
return x*y*z
funsliders(volume, [('x',0,5), ('y',1,5,3), ('z',2,5,4)])
A slightly more spectacular example of funslider in action is shown in this video .
First solution, with pip:
sudo pip install funsliders
Second solution, unzip everything in a folder and go with
sudo python setup.py develop
Last solution, since it's a very small module (less than 100 lines) just copy the file funsliders.py or its content anywhere you want to use it.
The function to explore can be any function with numerical inputs.
One can also define the slider's properties using a dictionnary. See Matplotlib's sliders for all supported arguments:
funsliders(volume,[ {'label': 'x', 'valmin':1, 'valmax':5},
{'label': 'y', 'valmin':1, 'valmax':5, 'valinit':2},
{'label': 'z', 'valmin':1 , 'valmax':5} ])
funsliders has two other arguments: - autoexec is True, the function f is executed every time the sliders are changed, using the argument values indicated by the sliders. If autoexec is False, f is only run when the user presses Enter. - If history is True, the current value of all arguments is printed to the console every time the function f is run.
