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.

Usage

progressBar(
  type = "step",
  iteration = NULL,
  timestep = NULL,
  totalSteps = NULL,
  message
)

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".

Value

No returned value, used for side effects

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")
} # }
