Rt Snapshot

The picture below is a screenshot of Rt. In particular, it is a picture of its graphical user interface (GUI). The input to Rt can be prepared in a text file or entered in the GUI. Regardless, working with Rt implies that you sequentially devote attention to the following five areas of Rt's GUI:
  1. Objects Pane (left-most area in the GUI): Rt is an object-oriented software and this is where the objects are displayed. New objects are created by right-clicking in this pane. Clicking at the bottom toggles between Modelling objects and Analysis objects; both models and analysis objects are required before running any analysis.
  2. Properties Pane (bottom-left area in the GUI): This is where the properties of each object can be set and modified. First click on the desired object in the Objects Pane, then modify its properties here.
  3. Analysis Menu (in the menu bar at the top): After creating Modelling and Analysis input in the Objects Pane, or in an input file that is loaded by File>Open, the analysis is run by selecting the desired analysis type in the Analysis drop-down menu.
  4. Output Pane (bottom-right area in the GUI): The analysis output is printed to this pane.
  5. Visualization Pane (large upper-right area in the GUI): This pane usually covers the majority of the GUI. In the screenshot below it contains four sub-panes that display information about an analysis. A variety of information can be displayed in the Visualization Pane. Some information, like the plot of a PDF of a random variable, is analysis-independent, while other information, like the coefficient of variation of a sampling result is continuously updated on the screen during the analysis.
