  I'm not sure I understand what you want, but... If want you want is a generic way to interface with a bunch of small tools that take some parameters and output some file, read on. If not, sorry.

  One thing you might do is abstract over something like dat.GUI [0]

  (Note: I like dat.GUI but understand it hasn't seen development lately and you might be concerned about that. In that case, substitute dat.GUI for Tweakpane [1] and the idea is still the same)

  dat.GUI creates a sort of control panel with various types of inputs based on whatever you want to manipulate. Something like this [2].

  The code to produce it can be abstracted quite nicely. So you could simply create a small generic script to create a panel from just a JS object with the properties you want to manipulate. You'd link this to a simple submit against your server-side binary.

  Now, the only thing that remains is presenting the output. I'm guessing that today you're generating an image but in some other case your output may be a text file or something else. For a lot of things you can just relay on the browser if you output to an and let the browser sort it. In most cases it will display it and when not, it could offer to download & save with the correct headers.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui">https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui</a><p>[1] <a href="https://tweakpane.github.io/docs/" rel="nofollow">https://tweakpane.github.io/docs/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://imgur.com/a/em4qKl7" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/em4qKl7</a>

• A lightweight GUI library for Angular
  4 projects | /r/Angular2 | 19 Nov 2023

  I created a GUI library, it's very useful for the visual editor and it can be very easy to generate config panel for options. If you don't know about GUI library, maybe you can checkout some other famous open source project ( dat.gui, tweakpane, leva).

• Atomic orbitals viewer
  1 project | /r/Physics | 10 Jan 2023

  I have looked into the text box issue. I am using a listener on the sliders that update them when switching to a different orbitals. This listener deactivate the ability to change the number in the text box directly. It seems to have been notified already but was never fixed: https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui/issues/206

• Advice on improving my workflow
  1 project | /r/SwiftUI | 24 Nov 2022

  In the javascript world, I'd use console logging or dat.gui to solve this problem, but I don't know where to start looking in swift/swiftui or xcode.

  Fun and simple, nice. I'd love to see the raw values presented using something like dat.gui, as well as basic play/pause/step controls.

• How to Make a Pure CSS 3D Package Toggle
  1 project | dev.to | 16 Feb 2022

  Before we ditch the use of dat.gui in our demo, let’s have a play with the size of our package. We want to check that our package remains centered while folding and flipping. In this demo, the package has a larger --height and the .scene has a dashed border.

• Is it possible to check if a dat.gui interface is being interacted with?
  1 project | /r/learnjavascript | 7 Jan 2022

  I was wondering if you could check if a dat.gui interface is being interacted with. I have a hold and drag behaviour in my code that let's me rotate the camera. But there is a situation where I try to change a value in my interface by holding and dragging a sidebar and the camera rotates too.

  Viewing the source for both pages shows a completely different build structure. toolband.com also has the developer name at the top of the file where as tool.army has none of that. The javascript files used are easily found using Google.
