Graphical User Interface

The software has an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to navigate and perform tasks. Here is a description of the key elements in the user interface:

Menu bar

At the top of the window, you will find the menu bar. It includes a dropdown menu that allows you to manage scenarios by loading and saving them.

Sidebar

The sidebar is located on the left side of the window and provides quick access to different tools in the software. It contains the following sections.

• Scenario Settings: This section allows you to define specific settings for the scenario, such as setting the location and size of the map.

• Agent Controls: In this section, you can manage the agents within the scenario. You have the ability to add new agents to the scenario, and changing the active agent between existing ones.

• Keyframe Controls: This section allows you to manage keyframes, which are specific points in time within the scenario that specify an agent's state.

The Planner tab

The Planner tab provides a visual representation of both a map and a timeline.

• The map display shows a graphical representation of the area.

• The timeline displays the keyframes of all agents at the specified timestamps.
