Hi there, I have an IMO fairly straightforward method for doing this that I wrote for use in my own flow modelling code. The idea is that you create a matrix (vector of vectors in my case) containing refs all initialized to some base value (e.g., 0). Then I wrap my with-animation macro around a call to the toplevel simulation function which will manipulate those refs internally. with-animation will spawn a JFrame that shows the matrix with a green (low) to red (high) color ramp with an automatically adjusting legend along the bottom. The image of the matrix is refreshed by its own thread once every *animation-sleep-ms*. All the drawing and refreshing code is available in a namespace within one of my own projects that I haven't yet broken into its own library, but I suppose I could do that easily enough if this approach sounded useful to you.
Right now you can see the code I am talking about here: https://github.com/lambdatronic/clj-span/blob/master/src/clj_span/gui.clj You would just pull in that namespace and the ones it depends on (feel free to copy them from my project or make the whole thing a dependency of your code). Then you would call it like so: (with-animation :numbers 0.0 matrix1 matrix2 (run-my-simulation matrix1 matrix2)) The idea is that run-my-simulation (your code) will manipulate the refs in these two different matrices, and then with-animation (my code) will render them in two panels side-by-side with matching legends and color ramps, so you can see their differences. I had built it this way because I needed to compare flow results under two different scenarios and only wanted to run the simulation once with both scenarios happening in parallel. If you just needed to show a single matrix, it should be pretty obvious what to comment out of the with-animation macro. Good luck and happy hacking, ~Gary On Monday, June 17, 2013 3:17:01 AM UTC-4, vemv wrote: > > I'm implementing a program D.
