Terminal user interface for simulations. Just compile with make and run your software as

./termsim your_program your_arg1 your_arg2 your_args

termsim will read stdout and stderr and will update the scatterplot or the message area depending on the beginning of the sentence. Full 3D controls are provided, as one can see here.

Syntax

To plot the points (0,0,1), (4,5,6) and (4,4,7), the program running under termsim should output something along the lines of

print("DATA")
print("0 0 1")
print("4 5 6")
print("4 4 7")
print("END")

where each print statement adds a newline.

To add a message, just print it, anything that doesn’t begin with DATA will be treated as a message. stderr will be merged with stdout and parsed also by termsim.

Termsim will apply colors to statements starting by Error:, Warning: and Info:.
