Getting Demo Graphite

Graphite has a powerful embedded language called GEL (Graphite Embedded Language), based on Python. This allows creating scripts, and even modifying the graphic interface without any C++ coding.

DemoGraphite is a set of GEL scripts that facilitate creating demos with Graphite. In particular, this makes it possible to keep track of the parameters used by some demos. With DemoGraphite, when you do the demo, you can concentrate on what you say, and do not need anymore to think about the values of the parameters to enter in the dialog boxes. All what you need to do is pushing the 'next' button ! Graphite is shipped with some examples of its built-in features. Instructions for installing DemoGraphite follow.
