OK Andy,

For several months I have been working on the Spectrib software, designed to manipulate, display and analyze spectroscopic data. You can have a look at this software by going on: http://rg75.free.fr/hyperespace.spectrib.en.htm

This is a work in progress (still a lot to do).
But I think it gives a good idea of the potential of LiveCode to create even complex software (see especially the videos - poorly made, I'm afraid).

A little information only for the people who read this forum: the demo on the WEB page is no longer accessible in theory, but it seems that I programmed the software protection very badly... :wink:

The interface is old-fashioned, but that doesn't matter too much as it is a prototype and, in my field of research, it can even help to make the software adopted by a certain public. A refresh is nevertheless planned and has already started.

This software should be available in several months...

Wow that looks pretty cool.
I almost want to say this may be useful in my field, except delimited data like that is probably not immediate available. Will keep any eye on this with interest!

@ stam

Thank you for your comment.

I hope that this software will arouse some interest among those who might need it.
But in the worst case, it will already serve my own purposes...

From a technical point of view, at the last count the software had more than 12000 lines of code.
It becomes difficult to make it progress alone!

Among the "funny" functions, we can see that: when the green bean cursor moves over the spectra, the position (in wavelength or in frequency) is displayed in parallel and that the data associated with this position - which are extracted in real time from a database - are also displayed. Moving this cursor also scrolls the field that contains the data, which is very useful when handling curves of several thousand points.

And, for those who would doubt: YES, all that is possible with the resources of LiveCode !

Hi Renaud, very impressive.
I don't think that the visuals look too old fashioned, they look familiar, which makes it more intuitive, standard controls and all that.

Hi Andy,

Thank you very much for your appreciation of this work.

Indeed the interface must be "familiar" and anyway the look will never satisfy everyone.
Besides, it has already changed a lot since the version available on my web site : the group constituted by the spectral curves, the scales, etc, can be now moved laterally or vertically. and scrollbars are present for the management of these displacements. I must admit that it was not easy because -among other things - it is necessary to take into account the factor of magnification of the curves!

Even with the simplicity of Livecode, it is not always a piece of cake... :-)
