  • Creating the GUI Form:
    1. Open your NeXtMidas project in Eclipse.
    2. On the Files tab, under the Source Package tree, select your option tree by expanding "nxm", then "train" (where "train" is your option tree).
    3. Right-click on "mcr", and select New -> Other..., then in the window that appears select WindowBuilder -> Swing Designer -> JFrame.
    4. For the Class Name, enter the name of the macro ("graphicslab2") that the GUI form will use (the name should be in lower-case and does not include a .mm extension), then press Finish button.
