Flightdeck-UI is a project that seeks to utilize the ideas in aircraft controls
and instruments design for creating general purpose user interfaces. The project
has been initiated by Open Light Software Inc. It uses the Python programming
language, and also requires Tkinter (see Downloads below for details). The
current release provides a set of modules for creating flightdeck-style user
interface elements, along with a demonstration program.

The demonstration program allows you to monitor a variety of parameters on your
system. By default, it is configured to sample the output of the free command,
and display the percentage of used memory. The program uses the Python commands
module, and thus follows that module's platform limitations (i.e. Unix only).
The library modules, however, should work on any platform that supports Python
and Tkinter.
