# Installation
1. If not already done so, create a virtual environment to contain all the packages required. Python 3.10 is recommended. The command below will create a new environment named 'app-env' with the latest version of Python 3.10.
conda create -y -n app-env python=3.10
2. activate said environment
conda activate app-env
3. The prompt should now read '(app-env)' on the left. The app is not published on Github or anywhere else. The link below points to my own personnal home server (I didn't find any way of getting a direct download link You are now ready to install everything with this command:
pip install http://130.92.113.172/dispersionapp_v0.1.0.zip
# Usage
1. Make sure your environment is activated (step 1 above)
2. call the `dispersionapp` command
dispersionapp
2*. this can be also done via calling python first (`-m` tells python to open the specified module)
python -m dispersionapp
# Interface
On the top left, you will see a summary of the current configuration. On the right, you will find the paremter list.
from left to right :
- the name of the paramter
- a slider to quickly explore values
- arrow buttons to move from one value to the next
- a text box where you can input your desired value. The closest possible value will then be selected.
- a button to automatically "play" the parameter from its current positition to its maximum
- interval during which each parameter is displayed while playing.
To navigate the plot:
- left-click + drag to move around
- right-click + drag to zoom
- scroll wheel to zoom
- for each kind of movement, you can do it while the cursor is hovering over one of the axis. In that case, only that axis is affected.
- to go back to a view that fits everything, click on the small "A" at the bottom left.
- to hide/show a line, click on it in the legend. You can also click+drag on the legend to move it around.
- double click on the purple title bar (left side or top) to pop out the plot in its own window.
