Starting the GUI ​

julia
using MicroMagnetic

# Start GUI (default port 10056)
gui()

# Start GUI accessible from LAN
gui(lan=true)

# Start GUI on custom port
gui(port=8080)

Or use the start_server function:

julia
using MicroMagnetic

# Synchronous mode
start_server(async=false)

# Asynchronous mode (default)
start_server(port=10056, host=nothing, async=true, lan=true)

Important Notes ​

  1. Shared Global State: Code executed in the Julia terminal and code executed in the GUI share the same global state. This means variables created in either environment are visible to both.

  2. One-to-One Mapping: Each terminal can only connect to one GUI web page. The GUI communicates with the Julia session running in the terminal that started it.

  3. Multiple GUIs: To run multiple GUI instances:

  • Start multiple Julia terminals

  • Each terminal runs on a different port

  • Connect each browser to its corresponding port

Example:

julia
# Terminal 1
gui(port=10056)  # Browser: http://localhost:10056

# Terminal 2  
gui(port=10057)  # Browser: http://localhost:10057

# Terminal 3
gui(port=10058)  # Browser: http://localhost:10058
