Thanks Peter. That activity is still in the future. But from my own historical perspective, the very reason I switched to lisp several years ago was the desire for such self-GUI-fying models. I had a blast lisping, but never got to this original goal :-) On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 6:57 PM, Peter Hildebrandt < peter.hildebrandt@gmail.com> wrote:
I am also very interested in the question posted just a few minutes ago. I would like to build an automated way of generating a GUI front end my cell models.
I used cells-gtk3 for exactly this purpose, i.e. linking the position/text/color of graphic elements to the state of cells models.
Depending on your objectives, some of the more complex widgets might be very helpful: - a treeview that reflects a hierarchical object structure (supporting drag and drop if I recall correctly) - a listview (grid) that shows slots of models in a list (can even be editable) - a canvas (based on cairo) that can be populated by visual primitives (boxes, circles, lines, text fields) that mirror cells models (e.g. start point of a line can be linked to the position of a box, and if the user drags/drops the box, the line follows like a connector)
Let me know if you have further questions. I wrote a fairly complex application using cells/cells-gtk (including a simple physics simulator using cells-ode and opengl), and I'm happy to dig up sample code if needed.

Thanks,
