This thread is to discuss the development of JAVA visual
analyzer of evolutionary data (population snapshots) saved
as *.gen files by the Framsticks simulator. Here are the
initial requirements; feel free to add your ideas and comments.
The idea is to support (advanced) users with a user-friendly
analyzer of evolutionary process. It should be a visual,
graphical application. Here is my initial wish list:
- graph for performance on selected criteria vs. time
(criteria = speed, height, size, fitness, ...)
- 1D/2D/3D graph of distribution of the selected criteria
vs. time
- the graph of the history of breeding (based on names),
with individuals as points connected by lines (single:
mutation, double: crossover); the lenght of lines corresponds
to the similarity of genotypes (as described in the *.gen file).
Height/color shows fitness or other selected criterion.
- advanced statistical analysis, incl. mean, std.dev.,
median, regression, and more
The source should be modular and reusable, as possible.
Some parts may be inspired by Framsticks C++ source.

Hi, I'm still getting the hang of using FramSticks but I am a good Java =
programmer and I have had specific experience writing algorithms to =
display the 'evolutionary path' of a GA.
So I'd be happy to work on this project, I'll need to take a closer look =
at the output files and what data is made available but I dont see why =
all the things you require couldn't be done.
I've written re-usable code before and so I could work on this with =
others, we will need to discuss in more detail what sort of UI is =
required.
A few thoughts :-
For advanced users it would *really* useful to have FramSticks generate =
Matlab code for some of the graphs (i.e. evolutionary path).
Some of these graphs should be real-time, others will be created on =
simulation termination.
