This chapter describes Model
Sim’s
graphic interface.
The example graphics in this chapter illustrate Model
Sim
’s graphic interface
within both Windows and UNIX. Since our interface is designed to provide
consistency in all system environments, your operating system’s job is to provide
the basic window-management frames, while Model
Sim
controls all internal
window features such as menus, buttons, and scroll bars.
Because Model
Sim
’s graphic interface is based on Tcl/Tk, you are able to
customize your simulation environment. Easily-accessible preference variables
and configuration commands give you control over the use and placement of
windows, menus, menu options, and buttons.
