What does GENIUS means ?
GENIUS means GENeration of Interface for Users of Scientific S/W.
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
So, GENIUS, is a higher level layer based on swing, fully written in Java (no need of code generation) but allowing to create more easily such GUI.
Main advantages
- 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).
