MD Julia Designer is made for professional GUI developers, with it specialising in Julia. MD Julia Designer comes with the unlimited use of all our Julia GUI Designers as well as their custom-tailored IDEs.
The visual widget configuration is stored within the configuration file allowing for developers to update widget configurations while Julia GUI code remains clean, readable and incredibly fast.
The MD Julia Designer is a drag and drop GUI framework that is used to simplify the design, creation and maintenance of widgets, applications and GUIs in Julia. GUI Designer elements are easy to add by using a drag and drop basis, simply select a widget from the toolbox and place it anywhere on the canvas area. All GUI widgets and apps can then be transformed into Julia QML code by MD Julia Designer without having to type a single line of code yourself. Widgets can be moved, resized and repositioned with simple mouse clicks and pulls, giving you complete control over your layout in seconds.
Julia GUI Builder
MD Julia Designer offers a high level of customisation and personalisation for every GUI element. Each widget contains its own properties panel where you can change the colour, font, size, position, text, border style and more with just a few clicks. All customisation is completely codeless, no syntax, no manual styling, no experience required. Once you are happy with your design, click the Done button and MD Julia Designer will generate all the Julia QML code needed for your GUI automatically.
The GUI Framework for the Julia Designer doesn’t need any skills for it to be used correctly and efficiently, as it has been created for all users. However, for advanced users, both MatDeck and Julia QML code can be used alongside the generated GUI to create complex and specialised programs that are tailored directly to the user’s needs. The generated Julia QML code can also be imported into any external Julia IDE or editor for further development.
All apps, widgets and GUIs created by the Julia GUI Designer can be saved and executed as standalone, independent applications to be shared among computers. All the provided GUIs are fully customisable and unique, allowing you to produce professional interfaces at the highest level in less time due to how accessible MD Julia Designer makes it.
Why Julia for GUI Development
Julia is a high-level, high-performance programming language designed for technical computing, data science and scientific applications. Julia combines the ease of use of languages like Python with the speed of C, making it the perfect language when your GUI application needs to do more than just look good, it needs to perform.
Julia uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation through LLVM, achieving execution speeds comparable to C and Fortran. This makes Julia ideal for GUI applications that require real-time data processing, scientific computation, live signal processing and high-frequency data acquisition. Julia’s core paradigm of multiple dispatch makes GUI event handlers and callbacks clean and elegant, while allowing developers to extend functionality without modifying existing code.
Julia was purpose-built for scientific computing, numerical analysis, machine learning, data science and engineering. It has native support for linear algebra, statistics, differential equations and optimisation, making it the perfect language for building GUIs that interface with scientific instruments, process experimental data and control engineering systems.
Julia also eliminates the two-language problem entirely. You can write your prototype and your production code in the same language with no performance penalty. Julia can natively call C and Fortran libraries and offers seamless interoperability with other languages, meaning your Julia GUI application can leverage vast ecosystems while maintaining the speed and elegance of Julia.
