The Graphical User Interface


The PDE Toolbox includes a graphical user interface (GUI), pdetool. The main components of the GUI are the menus, the dialog boxes, and the toolbar. They are explained in detail in this section.

PDE Toolbox Menus

The graphical user interface (GUI) has a pull-down menu bar that you can use to control the modeling. It conforms to common pull-down menu standards.

Menu items followed by a right arrow lead to a submenu. Menu items followed by an ellipsis lead to a dialog box. Stand-alone menu items lead to direct action. Some menu items can be executed by using keyboard accelerators.

pdetool also contains a toolbar with icon buttons for quick and easy access to some of the most important pdetool functions.

The following sections describe the contents of the pdetool menus and the dialog boxes associated with menu items.
