Abstract

A new graphical user interface (GUI) for the parsimony program TNT is presented that works under the Linux and Mac operating systems, as well as the Cygwin environment (which runs under Windows). The new interface is based on the GIMP Tool Kit, GTK (version 3). Formerly, only Windows versions of TNT had a GUI. The new interface improves upon the existing Windows GUI in several respects. These changes, together with several additions to the program since the publication of version 1.5, warrant a change in minor version, thus moving from version 1.5 to 1.6. Among the most notable improvements are the possibility to access graphical user dialogs by means of simple commands, to easily save trees in SVG format (“Scalable Vector Graphics”) directly from any tree-diagram being displayed, and to manage analyses in parallel (using multiple processors, by means of the PVM system or “Parallel Virtual Machine”), as well as a generally more stable and consistent behaviour. As the binaries for the new version are compiled as native 64-bit applications, this removes the limitations for accessing large amounts of memory in the previous GUI Windows interface (which is a 32-bit application).

TNT 1.6版，具有MacOS和Linux的图形界面，包括并行的新例程

提出了一个新的图形用户界面(GUI)，用于精简程序TNT，它可以在Linux和Mac操作系统以及Cygwin环境(在Windows下运行)下工作。新的界面是基于GIMP工具包，GTK(版本3)。以前，只有Windows版本的TNT有GUI。新界面在几个方面改进了现有的Windows GUI。这些变化，加上自1.5版发布以来对程序的一些补充，保证了小版本的变化，从而从1.5版移动到1.6版。其中最显著的改进是可以通过简单的命令访问图形用户对话框，可以直接从显示的任何树形图中轻松地将树保存为SVG格式(“可缩放矢量图形”)，并且可以并行管理分析(使用多个处理器，通过PVM系统或“并行虚拟机”)，以及通常更稳定和一致的行为。由于新版本的二进制文件被编译为本机64位应用程序，这消除了在以前的GUI Windows界面(这是一个32位应用程序)中访问大量内存的限制。
