The software-evolution-view (se-view) library provides a live
status view which is continually updated during the course of an
evolutionary run. Currently the interface is maintained on stdout
of the process running the se library. This view includes
information on the progress and timing of the evolutionary run, the
mutations used over the course of the run and their efficacy, and a
summary of the ‘note’ output printed during the run.
To use se-view simply include it into your package, and then call
‘start-view’ to begin maintain a status view on stdout. The
following global variables of the se-view package may be used to
customize the appearance of the view output.
*view-run-name* controls the title of the run
*view-length* controls the maximum width of the printed view
*view-delay* control the refresh rate of the view in seconds
*view-mutation-header-p* show headers of mutation view columns
*view-max-mutations* number of top mutations to show
*view-max-note-lines* number of notes lines to display
*view-best-genome-lines* show lines of the best genome
