4.1 Starting the GUI

You start the pyFormex GUI by entering the command pyformex -gui. Depending on your installation, you may also have a panel or menu button on your desktop from which you can start the pyFormex graphical interface by a simple mouse click.

When the main window appears, it will look like the one shown in the figure 4.1. Your window manager will most likely have put some decorations around it, but these are very much OS and window manager dependent and are therefore not shown in the figure.
