FunSliders
==========
FunSliders is a simple GUI to manually explore the inputs of a function. ::
from funsliders import funsliders
def volume(x,y,z):
return x*y*z
funsliders(volume, [('x',0,5), ('y',1,5,3), ('z',2,5,4)])
.. image:: https://raw.github.com/Zulko/funsliders/master/funsliders_demo.jpeg
A slightly more spectacular example of `funslider` in action is shown in `this video`_ .
Installation
------------
First solution, with pip: ::
sudo pip install funsliders
Second solution, unzip everything in a folder and go with ::
sudo python setup.py develop
Last solution, since it's a very small module (less than 100 lines) just copy the file `funsliders.py` or its content anywhere you want to use it.
What else there is to know:
---------------------------
The function to explore can be any function with numerical inputs.
One can also define the slider's properties using a dictionnary.
See Matplotlib's sliders for all supported arguments: ::
funsliders(volume,[ {'label': 'x', 'valmin':1, 'valmax':5},
{'label': 'y', 'valmin':1, 'valmax':5, 'valinit':2},
{'label': 'z', 'valmin':1 , 'valmax':5} ])
`funsliders` has two other arguments:
- `autoexec` is True, the function `f` is executed every time
the sliders are changed, using the argument values indicated by the
sliders. If `autoexec` is False, `f` is only run when the user presses `Enter`.
- If `history` is True, the current value of all arguments is printed to
the console every time the function `f` is run.
