Getting Ready for the GUI

Zelig can work with a variety of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). GUIs work by knowing a priori what a particular model accepts, and presenting only those options to the user in some sort of graphical interface. Thus, in order for your model to work with a GUI, you must describe your model in terms that the GUI can understand. For models written using the guidelines in Chapter [*], your model will be compatible with (at least) the Virtual Data Center GUI. For pre-existing models, you will need to create a describe.*() function for your model following the examples in Section [*].
