P3Group-GUI-extension

Repository for Graphical User Interface upgrade to P3-Group input system.

The original project used a pre-made image and relied on correct formatting of RGB colour values. Now, users can design and process their inputs via a GUI built with python's tkinter module. This allows:

• More flexibility in creating input boundaries with a choice of shapes.
• Better accuracy with improved control over positioning, size, and rotation of canvas shapes.
• Accurate control of boundary conditions by direct setting of potential values, removing limitations of scaling based on RGB's 0-255 gradient.
• Possibility to operate input, processing of E-field calculation, and display outputs within one user-friendly location.

The E-field solver can be launched very simply:

• Running solver.py as a Python script.
• Or via the following code in a Jupyter Notebook.

import solver
solver.create()
