National Resource for Network Biology GSoC'21

  Google Summer of Code 2021 Project Final Report This is the final report of the project undertaken by me during the Google Summer of Code 2021. This report contains relevant information pertaining to all the work that I experimented out during the GSoC timeline, from May 2021 to August 2021. Student Name Nikita Mahoviya Organization National Resource for Network Biology Project Title Develop GUI for ImageJ groovy script calling VCell API Mentors Ann Cowan Frank Morgan Michael Blinov Project Overview We have to create a service for VCell users that allows Fiji/ImageJ scripting to directly access the VCell client and then expand this service into a series of user-friendly plugins for ImageJ that will automate processing and analyzing cell imaging simulation experiments. The task will include: Entering the appropriate images to create a geometry Setting initial conditions for the simulation Running multiple simulations with varying parameter sets and Visualizing and comparing simula...

  This week was all about wrapping up the work as we headed towards the last coding week and the work accomplished included: Improving the README of the repository Segregating the java files according to their future reference Worked over the alignment of the text in Help and Template plugin Pop-up message in various conditions while using the plugin DIscussion about drafting the final documentation - Nikita Mahoviya

  So now as we are at a conclusion, the wrapping up of the work has begun. This week I worked over making a template that could be very useful for developers to have an insight into adding elements to a GUI with the framework. This included adding various  Buttons that could direct the user to the web browser Added sliders Buttons: toggle buttons, radio buttons Browsing file Adding message text boxes etc. Worked over the development of a help plugin that has the  information about the machine that we are using a prerequisite for launching VCell Plugins  adding buttons that could direct us to the web browser. Writing the documentation according to the guidelines and maintaining the repository - Nikita Mahoviya

In the meetings, we discussed how interactive we can make the sequence of plugins and GUI. So for this, we concluded :  Creating a GUI for the information page that will direct us to various links such as VCell Website, Support, etc  Converting the TextDisplayTest.java into JFrame Giving menu paths (nested menus) and providing icons for the various available plugins. - Nikita Mahoviya
