Description: # Two Body Problem &ndash; GUI
        
        ### the GUI to the simulation
        
        **Welcome!**
        
        This is the repository for the graphical user interface of
        [this simulation](https://github.com/Two-Body-Problem/twobodyproblem-simulation-python).
        For more information about the whole program, go there.
        
        In this additional GUI, there are more possibilities than in the normal (CLI) program.
        For example, you can choose from presets instead of typing in your own parameters,
        save your settings and values and more.

        [Usage](#usage)
        
        ## Installation Instructions
        
        *(You may need Microsoft Visual C++ to be able to run the program,
        so install it from [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools) if needed.)*
        
        ### via PyPi
        
        *The Python package manager pip will install the last uploaded version
        from the Python Package Index [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/twobodyproblem_gui).
        This will not always be the latest version, so if you want to install all the latest features,
        install it from GitHub (see [below](#via-github)).*
        
        1. Make sure [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads) and pip are installed correctly.
        1. Run these commands from a command line:
           1. `pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel`
           1. `pip3 install --upgrade twobodyproblem_gui`
        1. Now, the program is runnable with `python -m twobodyproblem_gui` or `python3 -m twobodyproblem_gui`.
        
        
        ### via GitHub
        
        1. Install the [CLI program](https://github.com/Two-Body-Problem/twobodyproblem-simulation-python#via-github).
        1. Run these commands from a command line:
            1. `cd TwoBody` (or whatever folder you stored the CLI program files in)
            1. `git clone https://github.com/Two-Body-Problem/twobodyproblem-simulation-python-gui.git`
            1. `pip3 install twobodyproblem-simulation-python-gui`
        1. Now, the program is runnable with `python -m twobodyproblem_gui` or `python3 -m twobodyproblem_gui`.
        
        ## Usage
        
        *To learn more about how to run the program with different options,
        run `python -m twbodyproblem_gui -h` or `python3 -m twbodyproblem_gui -h` respectively.*
        
        *To learn more about the CLI program / the simulation itself, read
        [this](https://github.com/Two-Body-Problem/twobodyproblem-simulation-python#usage) first.*
        
        Run the program with `python -m twobodyproblem_gui` or `python3 -m twobodyproblem_gui`.
        
        The program will open a window with some input fields. This is the main window where you input the values.
        To save values, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd>. The values will then be saved into a file.
        If you do this action repeatedly, the former contents of the file (i.e. the saved values) will be **overwritten**!
        To load saved values from this file, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>L</kbd>.
        To save or load values through a file dialog,
        press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>L</kbd>.
        It works the same way for saving and loading settings
        from the settings window (open it with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>I</kbd>).
        These files will be saved in the [YAML](https://yaml.org) format (*.yml).
        
        You can also select from a few presets (e.g. Sun, Moon, Earth)
        to fill in some values instead of typing your own.
        To do so, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd>, select from the drop-down menus
        and press one of the two buttons in the lower right corner.
        
        To start the simulation, press the button in the lower right corner in the main window.
