WELCOME TO THE GENIUS WIKI
WHAT DOES GENIUS MEANS?
GENIUS means GENeration of Interface for Users of Scientific S/W.
WHERE TO GET IT ?
Just go there ...
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 CNES 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
- 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).
REMARKS
- More complete tutorials are available in the training & tutorials package.
- Training slides are also available here.
CURRENT VERSION: 1.7
Some interesting evolutions and corrections have been implemented in this version as just two incompatibilities has been identified versus V1.6.x code source. (see here).
Known bugs:
- Anomaly in GPlotPanel when trying to plot data, function of absolute dates, for specific dates involving some gaps
- Anomaly in GPlotPanel when trying to display additional frames without selecting previously a file. Moreover, the maximum amount of additional frames is not taken into account.
- When writing MADONA files, an additional line is created just after the header; hence these files are no more directly readable by the GPlotPanel widget.
