Flowsheet

A flowchart/spreadsheet hybrid, where connections are front-and-centre, rather than tabular cells.

Coming from Spreadsheets, instead of Cells, we have both Nodes, and Links. Links have a formula associated to them, that can manipulate the incoming and destination data.

Nodes primarily hold data, and can be a few different types. Currently these include:

• Switch (Boolean / On-Off)
• Integers (Whole Numbers)
• Decimals (Floats, Real numbers)
• Percentages (Same as Decimals, but controlled with a slider between 0% and 100%)
• Text (Strings)
• Button (Same as Switch, but needs to be held down by the user to be on/true)

There is an EDIT mode, where you can add nodes and links, and set the initial values of nodes, and the formulae of links. There is a STYLE mode, where you can set how the nodes and links look. And there is a TEST mode, where you can try out your flowsheet without accidentally changing anything.

There is a scripting language you can use in the console.

Quick Start

• Add a node with the button on the left
• Mess around with its type and initial value with the buttons along the top bar
• Add another node
• Join them with a link
• Edit the link's formula with a the `<>` button on the selection bar at the top
• Mess around with the link's formula, or use one of the default formulae for simple arithmetic operations.
