TerminalUI Component

The TerminalUI component provides a graphical interface for monitoring and controlling ngspice simulations within eSim. It features a progress bar, a simulation log console, and buttons for toggling light/dark mode, cancelling, and re-running simulations.

Terminal UI

Features: - Displays real-time simulation logs and progress. - Allows users to cancel or redo simulations. - Supports toggling between light and dark modes for better visibility. - Integrates with ngspice using PyQt5’s QProcess for process management.

Usage: The TerminalUI is automatically launched during simulation runs. Users can interact with the simulation process using the provided buttons and view logs in the console area.

class frontEnd.TerminalUi.TerminalUi(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

This is a class that represents the GUI required to provide details regarding the ngspice simulation. This GUI consists of a progress bar, a console window which displays the log of the simulation and button required for re-simulation and cancellation of the simulation

cancelSimulation()

This function cancels the ongoing ngspice simulation.

changeColor()

Toggles the Ui_Form console between dark mode and light mode

redoSimulation()

This function reruns the ngspice simulation
