Modeling

Modeling

AGUIA/J enables programming with modeling abstractions, where code is representing the model (as in model-view-controller) that conforms to a certain abstraction defined in terms of a set of classes. In this way, by developing a program that manipulates rather conceptual simple and clean object classes, a user is enhanced with the graphical visualization of the objects that are instantiated in the program.

Grid grid = new Grid(3, 3);

grid.getPosition(1, 0).setSymbol('1');

grid.getPosition(1, 2).setBackground(new Color(255, 0, 0));

By means of plugins, AGUIA/J can be extended with visualization widgets for rendering objects of a certain type. These types may be either plugin-provided (such as in the given example) or they might belong to the Java libraries (e.g. String, List, Map).
