SIMSCRIPT II.5 v. 3 Release Notes and Archive

Simulation Graphics

SIMSCRIPT II.5 Simulation Graphics is based on Java environment for enhanced portability. Current SIMSCRIPT Models, which use Simulation Graphics II, only need to be re-linked with the new graphics libraries. All graphical elements in graphics.sg2 library will work without any changes except bitmaps - they have to be converted to JPG.

New SIMSCRIPT II.5 Graphics uses JPG format, so bitmaps in .bmt and .xwd format have to be converted to JPG format.

New SIMSCRIPT II.5 Graphics includes the new redesigned Interactive Graphical Editors integrated with the Simstudio. They have standard look-and-feel as other PC Windows applications, improved menu and dialog editing capabilities, more intuitive GUI and are easier to use.

New SIMSCRIPT II.5 Graphics supports snapshots of the graphics window in encapsulated postscript and JPG. To create a postscript file click on the button PS in the upper right-hand corner of the graphics window. To create JPG file press Shift and click on PS at the same time.

Details how to create graphical elements using Simstudio and how to use them in SIMSCRIPT II.5 models, you can find in SIMSCRIPT II.5 Graphics Users Manual and in Simstudio on-line Help.
