By setting the CMake switch SPIRIT_UI_CXX_USE_QT, you can choose wether to use a regular
command line interface or a powerful QT user interface.
Both interfaces can be stopped with Ctrl+C.
Doing this will cause it to stop the current solver, write the corresponding output
files and the Log to your disk and terminate when finished.
Pressing Ctrl+C twice within 2 seconds will cause immediate termination.
This is a very simplistic command line user interface implementing the core library. It has no non-standard library dependencies and should thus run almost anywhere, where a compiler with C++11 support is available.
The actions need to be hard-coded into main.cpp, there is currently no way to
script the actions of the code.
This is a QT5 user interface making use of the core and the VFRendering libraries. It enables the user to control parameters during simulations and provides a powerful live visualisation of the spin systems.
The available calculation methods and solvers, starting and stopping the calculation
as well as the switching between images are implemented in ControlWidget. Via the file
menu, one can import and export e.g. spin configurations.
The Spin Widget wraps the VFRendering library's visualisation capabilities
and provides user interaction.
The remaining widgets are used to control parameters and view output. They are packed
into a QDockWidget, meaning they are repositionable and can be toggled.
The ui folder contains QT-specific xml files, which can be edited using QT Creator or QT Designer.
