Concept for a Graphical User Interface for SimCADO

simcado_gui is a concept (not even a prototype) for a graphical user interface for simcado.

At the moment, it is only able to simulate a single source (a star) under different conditions and plot the results.

To use it you should have SimCADO installed

pip install simcado

and dash

pip install dash

The interface should run in your browser under the address http://127.0.0.1:8050/

Features wishlist

• Simulate different sources under different conditions (support adding sources?)
• Support different modes (including the full array)
• Ability to do some analysis on-screen (change scale, select colormaps, etc)
• Ability to download the results as fits file
• Your feature

Other possibilities

dash is certainly not the only framework to create interfaces with python code. Other possibilities to investigate include:

• jupyter dashboard
• nteract
• bokeh
• others?
