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>
Regards, Marc<br>

Hi Marc,<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 have been
developed. I would like to have a graphical actor that I could
customize for a variety of input from a workflow user.<br>
<br>
Kind regards, Marc<br>
