Naturally, Lite MD Python Designer is limited to five GUI widgets and is intended to be used for beginners and very basic apps. Instruments and 3D graphs can only be used in the MatDeck version of our GUI Designer.
The MD GUI Designer is a GUI framework that is used to simplify the design, creation and maintenance of widgets, applications and GUIs. GUI Designer elements are easy to add by using a drag and drop basis. All GUI widgets and apps can be then transformed into Python and MatDeck code by MD GUI Designer without having to type a single line of code yourself.
The main advantage of MatDeck C++ style code is that it better suits the users’ needs and preferences while giving a much faster execution speed compared to most languages, it is also much easier to follow and requires less syntax and lines. The GUI Framework for the GUI Designer doesn’t need any skills for it to be used correctly and efficiently, as it has been created for all users. However, for advanced users, both MatDeck and Python code can be used alongside the generated GUI to createcomplex and specialised programs that are tailored directly to the user’s needs.
All levels of users can utilize the provided GUIs, therefore, all the provided GUIs are fully customizable and unique. All apps, widgets and GUIs created by the GUI Designer can be saved and executed as standalone, independent applications to be shared among computers and mobiles.
