OK...the BrowserUI looks like an interesting actor option for my
workflow. It would be nice to be able to "search" workflow *.kar
files to determine if a workflow used a specific actor, in this
case, a BrowserUI actor.<br>
<br>
I'd like to take a look at some workflows that use this actor.<br>
<br>
Do you also have a contact at SDSC with whom I may interact on this
query?<br>
<br>
Kind regards, Marc<br>

actor for just this purpose -- you write an HTML page containing
the input questions you want, configure the BrowserUI to display
it at the right point in the workflow, and then gather the output
from the configured ports. Ilkay probably has examples of its
use.

<div>It would nice to have a Java-based survey actor of some sort
with an extensible dialog, but I don't think anyone has built
one yet. I could imagine a nice utility that let you configure
the output you want, and for each output configure a set of
prompts and choose widgets for display, and then get back the
output on the ports. This would be a more seamless version of
what BrowserUI does without the external browser and without
having to write HTML. Any takers who would want to create such
an actor?</div>

What I am thinking of is this...<br>
<br>
I would like for a user to run a workflow "as is" with no
modification. As the workflow begins execution, a
graphical window pops up, prompting the user with a suite
of fields that the user can then input text data into.
The workflow can then process the user input, check it for
validity, perhaps then re-prompt the user to correct their
input. There would be options where the GUI can check for
certain files and use that as input to the user fields or
write out those files based upon the user input fields.<br>
<br>
I want to use this as a means for users to configure user
parameters for external applications:<br>
<br>
...have a set of default parameters.<br>
...have the the user input their own customer
parameters for the external application.<br>
...write out a parameter configuration file that can
be used on subsequent runs of the external application.<br>
...would like to have 8-10 configuration files that
could be selected from the GUI OR to run the workflow with
a specific parameter configuration file.<br>
<br>

In Kepler, the "Convert URL to Image" actor is
ptolemy.actor.lib.image.URLToImage:<br>
"The ConvertURLToImage actor reads the URL or path
of an image and outputs the image in a form that can
be used by other actors (an image token)." <br>
<br>
Ptolemy includes interfaces to Java Advanced Imaging
(JAI) and Java Media Framework (JMF).<br>
There was some work done with OpenCV, but it likely
only present in the Ptolemy tree.<br>
<br>
As an aside, the Plotter has a facility where the
user can draw a dataset. In theory, that facility
could be <br>
used in an actor to allow the user to draw the
dataset and then output the data.<br>
<br>
Ptolemy can also use the locations of actors in the
window as input. We use this with the wireless
model of<br>
computation to indicate how far apart wireless nodes
are.<br>
<br>
What sort of graphical input did you have in mind?<br>

I am curious if any graphical input actors that
