Editing TkMadagascar (section)

== Sandbox ==

The main window of the interface is called the "Sandbox."  It is where all of your Flows, Plots, and Results will show up as you add and configure them.  The Sandbox is also the home screen.  Closing the Sandbox terminates tkMadagascar.

The Sandbox has the following menus:

=== File === 

The File menu handles file input/output operations.  

New - Resets the Sandbox.

Load state - Load the previous state of a saved Sandbox, or load items from a saved Sandbox.

Save state - Save the state of the Sandbox (includes all items attached to a Sandbox). 

Export to SConstruct - Export all Flows, Plots and Result commands to an SConstruct of your choosing for later execution on the command line.

Close - terminate tkMadagascar.

=== View === 

The view menu lets you choose which other windows to show:

Program browser, lets you find and select programs to add to your Sandbox.
Log, lets you view the output of running processes.

=== Run === 

The run menu lets you execute commands from the command line on the items attached to your Sandbox.  List of commands is below:

scons - build Results and their dependencies

scons view - build Results and their dependencies, try to open a plot command for each Result

scons lock - build Results and save them to $RSFFIGS

scons -c   - clean the local directory
