The Tool Set for Building Claro - A Component Loading Architecture
Sandia Report, Karl Merkley · 2006
Claro, A Component Loading Architecture, was designed with two purposes. The first was to provide a graphical user interface for an existing command line tool, Cubit. Second, it was designed to provide a versatile user interface for other tools in the design through analysis (D2A) tool set. While many tools may not fit into the Claro architecture, the tools that were used to build Claro are valid in very broad range of applications. This report discusses the tools (specifically, Qt, VTK, and python) used to build Claro and shows how their utility and versatilty make them applicable to the larger set of D2A tools. As multiple projects use the same set of tools it makes it more probable that different groups can leverage the work of previous developers.
