Outputs the command line of any ISIS application

Overview Parameters Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

Description

This program allows its user to output a validated command line for any ISIS application. The parameters will be validated using the application's xml file. Command line arguments will be used to initialize the application's parameters.

If the GUI flag is not present on the command line, the parameters will be validated and the command line will be output if no errors were detected.

If the GUI flag is present on the command line, the GUI parameters fields will be initilized using the command line arguments. The user will then be able to change parameter values and supply values for ones not on the command line. When the GUI is told to process the parameters, a validation check is done. If there were errors, a message will be displayed and the user will be allowed to correct the problem. If the validation succeeds the command line will be output, and the GUI will be taken down.
