Project Task Page: Compose Status: Stasis - Compose can create Graphline based Kamaelia systems Current Developers: Michael Current "inflight" dev location: /Code/Python/Kamaelia/Tools/Compose* Start Date: August 2005 Expected End Date: n/a End Date: na Date this page last updated: 12 December 2006 Estimated effort so far: 20 days (est) DescriptionCompose will be a tool capable of visually composing and editting any Kamaelia system.As Compose is created/improved, it will be capable of creating more and more complex Kamaelia based systems visually. The outcome will be a tool for generic systems, but especially networked & multimedia applications. The potential for a graphical tool has been recognised all along, and care has been taken in the design of Axon to allow this to happen, and to ensure that any running system structure is introspectable at runtime. Indeed, first came the system, then introspection, then visual creation. Any extensions to the system (eg for non-dataflow components) are suggested to follow the same mould - text/introspectable first, graphical second. Benefits:
