how can i create a GUI for scilab????

i had a spring damper system and i wrote a scilab code for plotting a graph of TIME VS DISPLACEMENT. now i want to make a GUI for it, so that i can take a value from user and plot a graph simultaneously on same screen. my problem is i am not able to code gui in scilab nor in matlab?? can u plz help me in this??///

Hi,

As a starting point you can follow the workaround below to code the GUI:

1. We need a small GUI where the user enters and the app plots displacement x(t) for the system mx¨+cx˙+kx=0
2. Write the model you’ll solve (2nd-order → 1st-order). Use MATLAB's ODE solvers for this.
3. Pick the numerical method . Use ode45 (adaptive Runge–Kutta).
4. Decide the GUI controls (what the user touches).
5. Make a uifigure and lay out controls (grid layout is easiest), add a uiaxes for the plot, and a label for the damping info.
6. Wire the events i.e. how the app reacts. Then validate the inputs
7. Assemble the ODE from the inputs. Perform integration.
8. Plot and display.

Hope this helps!
