This function is designed to facilitate the development of R-based Syncrosim Packages, such as beginning, stepping, ending, and reporting the progress for a SyncroSim simulation.
Arguments
- type
 character. Update to apply to progress bar. Options include "begin", "end", "step", "report", and "message" (Default is "step")
- iteration
 integer. The current iteration. Only used if
type = "report"- timestep
 integer. The current timestep. Only used if
type = "report"- totalSteps
 integer. The total number of steps in the simulation. Only used if
type = "begin"- message
 character. An arbitrary messsage to be printed to the status bar. Only used if
type = "message".
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Begin the progress bar for a simulation
progressBar(type = "begin", totalSteps = numIterations * numTimesteps)
# Increase the progress bar by one step for a simulation
progressBar(type = "step")
# Report progress for a simulation
progressBar(type = "report", iteration = iter, timestep = ts)
# Report arbitrary progress message 
progressBar(type = "message", message = msg)
# End the progress bar for a simulation
progressBar(type = "end")
} # }
