The gui part of an applications is very important. I liked the form editor in J6 and miss it. I looked forward to the new features that came with new guis and possibilities. The JHS is magnificient but the gui is not that easy to use. The demos are interesting but not great. The plot demo is totally useless and worse than none. The others are too simple and too complex at the same time. I am sure it is possible to do a demo like the one I want. Nobody is doing one. A lab describing it too is needed. Nobody is doing one. Because of this lack of demos and labs not many people do use it. I have been meaning to for some time but never given it enough time. For most people it is too difficult but for people like Eric it would be easy but he does not do one either as far as I know. Combining the demos more or less into one. I managed it partly and am sure it is possible. Having problems with two plots together with the rest is what I need time for. A workig plot demo preferably two plot demo with help texts. Combinig them all in one with two working plots is what I want. Explaing how it works is what I really want and I am sure I am not alone. A lab explaining it is what is missing. I guess something like the form editor from J6 is too much to wish for.
I am pretty sure noone could do one in qt nor android. I actually did try that but became convinced it is not possible. Came close to do it partially but no cigar. The demos are not easy to read and do not come close in beeing helpful. Actually more confusing than helpful. I am very disappointed in qt and do not see it becoming anything useful. I am sure it is good for someone and something. I am just not happy with it.
