The gui package

Modules for graphically interacting with the software

The gui package provides modules which provide the program with graphical functionality.

Notes

The current implementation of the graphical interface in the software is wxPython, which is a collection of Python wrappers, managed by Robin Dunn, for the C-based wxWidgets library. This system was chosen because it is

1. simple and intuitive (at least for a graphical engine),
2. fast (because the base is written in C),
3. popular (it is included in most python distributions), and
4. cross-platform.
