Subject: building dynamic interfaces
From: Bruno Bonte (bruno.bonte@hotmail.fr)
Date: Thu Jan 18 2007 - 11:29:33 CET
Good morning to all,
I am trying to build a dynamic output interface. A chart that would evolve
automatically during the simulation.
I think visual works should propose some protocols for doing that in
ApplicationModels but it seams complicated so I am wondering if anyone ever
made something like that in previous models ?
Thank you,
Bruno
