GUI Guide

The GUI Guide explains how to use the graphical GONet Wizard interface.

These pages focus on what the user sees on screen: which fields to fill, which buttons to press, and what happens after each form is submitted.

For conceptual descriptions of the tools themselves, see Tools guide. For terminal usage, see CLI Reference. For implementation details, see GUI architecture developer notes and UI runtime developer notes.

Note

The downloadable desktop app is intended for GUI use. It opens the graphical launcher without requiring a terminal, but it does not install the GONet_Wizard or gonet-wizard command-line tools. Install the Python package if you also want terminal commands.

GUI Labels and CLI Commands

Each GUI page is a form-based frontend over a command-line command.

GUI page	CLI command	Tool description
Show Image GUI guide	show	image inspection tool guide
Show Metadata GUI guide	show_meta	metadata inspection tool guide
Extract GUI guide	extract	extraction tool guide
Split RAW Images GUI guide	split_raw	split RAW images tool guide
Dashboard GUI guide	dashboard	dashboard tool guide

Relationship to the CLI

The graphical interface is a frontend over the same command system used by the terminal CLI. The GUI forms collect inputs, translate them into command arguments, and dispatch the same handlers used by command-line invocations.

For the equivalent terminal commands, see CLI Reference. For the internal architecture, see command-system developer notes.
