Welcome to the GENIUS (GENeration of Interface for Users of Scientific S/W) wiki, a CNES Library for building GUI. As it is coded in Java, this product is available for any kind of platforms owning a JVM.

DESCRIPTION

What is Genius?

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

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

CURRENT VERSION: 1.9.1

Just the correction of an anomaly present in the V1.9 version (see [Main_differences_between_V1.9_and_V1.9.1|here]).

Known bugs:

  • When writing MADONA colums files header, information about "plot break" is not written.
  • Using GPlotPanel] widget:
    • when we use a SQLite file, we can normally display data together from the ephemeris table data but also from the events table. With this version, it is no more possible. To do it up to now, we must display data of the second table using the secondary axis possibility.
    • calendar date axis display is only done when the unit is ~cal but also if the name of the variable is "DATE" (as only the unit might be taken into account).

PREVIOUS VERSIONS

  • Version 1.9 : some interesting evolutions and corrections, (see here).
  • Version 1.8 : some interesting evolutions and corrections, (see here).
  • Version 1.7 : some evolutions and corrections, (see here).
  • Version 1.6.2 : some few corrections and evolution, (see here).
  • Version 1.6.1 : just one bug correction, (see here).
  • Version 1.6 : some evolutions and corrections, (see here).
  • Version 1.5: some minor changes and corrections have been implemented. Moreover, only one incompatibility exists on the code source but is very easy to correct (see here).
  • Version 1.4.1: some interesting improvements with a minor incompatibility versus the V1.3 version (see here).
  • Version 1.4 (not deployed).
  • Version 1.3: just a minor incompatibility versus the V1.2.1 version.
  • Version 1.2.1 (the V1.2 version does not exist actually as it has never been deployed).
  • Version 1.1: there are some incompatibilities versus the V1.1 version.
  • Version 1.0A2
