How to edit COSMOSS GUIs

The Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) of COSMOSS were written with the appdesigner of Matlb. I used to use GUIDE wordle for the GUIs but found the appdesigner is much scalable.

Editing Main GUI

To edit the GUIs, you need to call the appdesigner command with the '.mlapp' files. For example, to edit the main GUI, I can type the following in the Matlab working space[1]:

> appdesigner COSMOSS

You should see the appdesigner interface shows up as following:

Image Not Showing Possible Reasons
  • The image file may be corrupted
  • The server hosting the image is unavailable
  • The image path is incorrect
  • The image format is not supported

The above figure shows the design view, which allows you to edit the graphical elements. The other tab on the top right named 'Code View' will give you access to the source code for further editing:

Here is an nice video for how to use the appdesigner in general.

Editing other GUIs

Other GUIs can be found in the sub-folders in the COSMOSS source code folder. The structure modeling GUIs were stored in the "MoleculeConstruction" folders. The analysis tool GUIs were stored in the "AnalysisTools" fold. All the GUIs generated by the Matlab appdesigner end with a ".mlapp" extension.

  1. For the command to work, your Matlab current folder should be the COSMOSS source code folder. Otherwise the appdesigner can't find the 'COSMOSS.mlapp' file. ↩︎

What is COSMOSS?

:::info COSMOSS is a Coupled OScillator MOdel Spectral Simulator ::: Initially COSMOSS was created for my PhD research projects. Using the coupled-oscillators framework, I simulated and extracted information from experimental spectrum[^GoogleScholar], mostly on 2D IR and 2D SFG. As the COSMOSS project moving forward, I couldn't help but wonder if I can make it more general (as its name implied), i.e. works for different molecules, with a user-friendly GUI, support other spectral types, and most important of all, it is open source! So here is it, hope you enjoy it. What can COSMOSS do? COSMOSS can help you generate model structures and simulated their vibrational spectrum, currently includes:

Running COSMOSS from the workspace

In this tutorial, I will layout a step-by-step process about how to run COSMOSS from workspace (command line mode). One of the major benefits is to run it in a batch mode. Running in batch mode allows one to explore the "change" from some acting variables. For example, given two molecules, if you want to know how would spectral features change when you pull them away, you can run simulations in a for-loop instead of laborious mouse-clickings. Even better is that you can visualize the result as a movie! :::info Objective: Generating the movie of FTIR spectral change while pulling two molecules away from 3 to 7Å. ::: Constructing the TCO model :::warning Before we start, make sure you've already run COSMOSS at least once so all the paths to relevant function are set!
