The Kepler Project (http://www.kepler-project.org) uses parts of Ptolemy and they have various plans to have one tabbed window that will have the various settings. The Vergil UI evolved into its current state. It would be nice to have the parameters, ports and units on one window. > Rather than having to expand all the little folders in the left pane > in Vergil, it would be much nicer to just have a list and be able to drag > from the list. > > Perhaps instead of a list you could provide a table that showed various > attributes of the items and allowed sorting by clicking column headers > to make it easier to find a particular item. Kepler has a search mechanism which helps greatly here. We'd like to have similar features in Ptolemy, but this is production work, not research, so it is difficult to get funding for it or convince students to do this work instead of doing research. I'd really like to have a search mechanism. Fortunately, we recently received some funding for software development and have been spending some time tuning performance for large models. The Ptolemy UI could use some cleanup, I see the Kepler work as a step in the right direction. Many thanks for the suggestions, it is valuable for us to hear a fresh perspective on using Vergil. _Christopher ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
