As indicated by its name, (GENeration of Interface for Users of Scientific S/W), GENIUS is a CNES higher level layer based on swing, fully written in Java (no need of code generation) but allowing to create more easily GUI for scientific tools.
WHY GENIUS ?
In Java world, basic tools, as swing, may become relatively complex to use because it stays at a certain low level (on the opposite, it allows to do a lot of things). Moreover, GUI for flight dynamics tools (or, more generally, scientific tools) need most of the time :
- To enter input (numerical) data from the screen or the keyboard
- To read / write these data into files
- To execute computation thanks to these data,
- To visualize results
MAIN ADVANTAGES
- As it is coded in Java, this product is available for any kind of platforms owning Java.
- GENIUS is provided as Open Source under license Apache 2.0. Java doc is accessible via this site.
- Simplified approach, in particular about events management (BEFORE, AFTER)
- Performing conditional display
- Read/write for files directly integrated
- Units management
- Process management compatible of all OS (thanks to Java).
