Show Slide: Advantages of using GUI Builder Toolbox |
Now let us look at the advantages of the Toolbox.
|
|
Let’s first learn to install the GUI Builder toolbox. This can be done in a number of ways. We will look at one of them. | |
|
Cursor on Scilab console. Type atomsGui and press Enter. |
Open Scilab. In the Scilab console window, type atomsGui. The commands are case sensitive. Hence, please retain the syntax as shown here. Press Enter. |
| Cursor on Main categories - ATOMS window. |
The Main categories - ATOMS window opens. This window has two panels. The left panel displays a list of toolbox categories. |
| Cursor on the blank right panel. |
Notice that the right panel is blank since I have not installed the toolbox. It will display the details of the toolbox after installation. |
|
Cursor on Main categories - ATOMS window. Click once on the GUI. |
Click once on the GUI seen on the left panel. This will show the list of toolboxes available in the GUI category. |
|
Cursor on Main categories - ATOMS window. Click once on GUI Builder . |
Click once on the GUI Builder. This will show the details of this toolbox on the right side of the window. |
|
Cursor on Main categories - ATOMS window. Highlight the version. |
Scroll up and notice the Version of the toolbox. At the time of recording this video, the current version of the toolbox is 4.2.1. It could be different when you are watching this tutorial at a later date. |
|
Cursor on Main categories - ATOMS window, Click Install. Hover cursor over “Installation Done” message. |
Click on the Install button at the bottom of the window. If successful, the Installation Done message appears at the bottom. |
| Close and reopen Scilab. |
After this, we need to restart Scilab for the changes to take effect. Let’s close and then reopen Scilab. |
| Cursor on the Scilab console. | Notice that the GUI Builder Toolbox gets loaded upon starting Scilab. |
|
Cursor on Scilab console. Type guibuilder and Press Enter. |
Now, type guibuilder in the Scilab console, and press Enter. This command opens two windows. |
| Cursor on GUIBuilder Palette window and Graphic Window Number 1. |
The GUIBuilder Palette window is located on the left side. The Graphic Window Number 1 is located on the right side. |
| Cursor on GUIBuilder Palette window, Hover cursor over the Pushbutton, Radiobutton, Checkbox, Edit, Text box . |
Let us look at the GUIBuilder Palette window. It has objects such as,
|
|
Cursor on the GUIBuilder Palette window, hover cursor over Left, Right, Up, and Down. |
On the right, the direction keys Up, Down, Left, and Right are provided. They are used to shift the selected objects in the GUI. |
|
Cursor on the GUIBuilder Palette window, hover cursor over W-, W+. Hover cursor over H-, H+. |
Below the direction keys, notice W- (W minus) and W+ (W plus) keys. They enable the user to adjust the width of the selected object. H- (H minus) and H+ (H plus) are given to adjust the height of the selected object. |
| Cursor on Graphic Window number 1. | Objects are placed in Graphic window number 1. |
|
Cursor on the GUI Builder Palette window, click on the Pushbutton. |
Let us create a GUI by placing objects in Graphic Windows number 1. Go to the GUI Builder Palette and click on the Pushbutton. |
|
Cursor on Scilab Multiple Values Request window. Hover cursor over Tag. |
A window named Scilab Multiple Values Request opens. Notice the Tag field. It is a unique identifier for each GUI object. It allows you to give a name to the object. A Tag can be a number or an alphabet or its combination. Users can assign any value as a Tag. |
| Type h1 in the Tag field. | I will type h1 in the Tag field. |
|
Cursor on Scilab Multiple Values Request window, hover cursor over String. |
Below Tag, we see the String field. |
|
Cursor on Scilab Multiple Values Request window, Type Print in the String field. Click on OK. |
The text in the String field is the display name for the object in the Graphic window. I will type Print in the String field and then, click on OK. |
|
Cursor on Graphic Window number 1, click once in the middle left side. Drag the cursor to draw a line box. |
In the Graphic Window number 1, click once near the middle left side of the window. Then drag the mouse diagonally downwards to draw a rectangle. Notice a line box. The size of this can be varied by moving the cursor on the window. |
| Click again on the window. | Click again on the Graphic Window to place the pushbutton. |
|
Cursor on Graphic Window number 1, hover cursor on Print pushbutton. |
Notice that a pushbutton named Print appears on Graphic Window number 1. The Graphical User Interface is now ready. |
|
Cursor on the GUI Builder Palette window, click on Generate, click on Generate GUI code . |
To generate the Scilab code, go to the GUI Builder Palette window. Click on the Generate menu seen on the top menubar. Then click on Generate GUI code. |
|
Type printpushbuttongui >> click Save. |
I will save this file as printpushbuttongui and click on Save. |
|
Cursor on GUI Created window. Click on OK. |
A confirmation message is displayed which says, “GUI created successfully!” Click on OK. |
| Cursor on SciNotes window. |
Immediately, the corresponding Scilab file opens. Inside this file, all the properties of the figure and object are provided. |
|
Cursor on SciNotes window, highlight handles.h1, highlight the part inside uicontrol parentheses. |
handles.h1 is the handle for the pushbutton. Inside the uicontrol parentheses the properties of the pushbutton are given. |
|
Cursor on SciNotes window, highlight the h1_callback function. |
The callback function h1_callback is defined at the bottom. Code written within this function will get executed on pressing the pushbutton. |
|
Cursor on SciNotes window. Type, disp(“Hello World!”). Hover cursor on disp(“Hello World!”). |
Let us now write a code within h1_callback. Type, disp(“Hello World!”). This command will display “Hello World!” on the Scilab console when executed. The program is now complete. |
| Press CTRL + S. | Let us save it by pressing the Control and S keys together. |
|
Cursor on Scinotes window, click on Execute. |
Click on Execute in the top menubar. |
| Click on File with echo | Then click on File with echo from the drop-down. |
|
Cursor on Graphic Window number 2. Hover cursor on Print pushbutton. |
A window named Graphic window number 2 opens. The pushbutton named Print appears in the graphic window. |
|
Cursor on Graphic Window number 2, click on Print. |
Next, let us test our GUI. Click on the Print pushbutton. The code gets executed. |
|
Cursor on Scilab Console. Highlight the message Hello World! |
Go to the Scilab Console to see the output. The console shows the message “Hello World!” |
|
Cursor on Graphic Window number 2, click on the Print pushbutton three times. |
Let us now again click the Print pushbutton three times. Notice that on the Scilab Console, the static response is generated three times. So, for each click on the pushbutton, a static response is generated. |
