okay bestie, listen up 💖 this is the manual page for mxGUI, section 1 of the manual. yes we're doing manpage lore today, it's giving study session, it's giving academic weapon 🌸

🌈 NAME 🌈

mxgui — The mcxtrace graphical user interface 🎀

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

mxgui [INSTR]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the front-end mxgui hands you a whole graphical user interface that interfaces the various parts of the mcxtrace package. iconic behaviour, no cap 👑

you start it from a shell/command prompt by using simply the command mxgui — that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

the mxgui program may optionally be given the name INSTR of an instrument file. optional!! lowkey generous of it 💜

when the front-end is started, a main window is opened. this window displays the output from compiling and running simulations, and also contains a few menus and buttons. multitasking queen 💅

and the main purpose of the front-end? glad you asked bestie:

• edit and compile instrument definitions 📝
• run the simulations 🏃
• visualize the results 👀

periodt. that's the whole job description 🔥

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• INSTR — optional name of the instrument to open. like, you can hand it over or you can simply not, no pressure 🫶
