The GUI offers a user-friendly way to run GLOBIOM and perform interactiveanalysis of the model output. One or more output GDX files resulting fromGLOBIOM scenario runs can be loaded for charting, mapping, tabulation andcomparison.
The GUI is an optional add-on to GLOBIOM: those who prefer more in-depthcontrol can still choose to run GLOBIOM from the GAMS IDE or GAMS Studio asbefore, or perform analysis using R or some other tool of choice.
After installation via GitHub,the GUI window should open when running the globiom.bat script located in theGUI directory. If this fails, run the script from the command prompt orterminal so that you can read the error message, check whether you haveconfigured a valid path in GGIG_java_path.txt.
The first time you launch the GUI, default settings are used. You can adjustthe settings to match your system via the settings dialog that opens via theSettings >> Edit settings menu item.
Path to r.exe in the GAMS and R tab. Point it to the Rscript orRscript.exe binary/executable of your R installation so as to be able torun R scripts from the GUI. Beware, on Windows the 64-bit R executables arein a x64 subdirectory of a bin directory that holds the 32-bitexecutables. You typically will want the former, not the latter. For moreinformation see Using R with GLOBIOM.
The GUI stores its settings in the settings.ini file in the GUIdirectory. This .ini file contains the settings you enter via theconfiguration dialog, but also per-task or per-analysis-view window state.This is convenient, but sometimes you will want to return those to a defaultstate. To clear all per-task settings, select the Settings >> Removetask-specific settings menu item. To clear all analysis view settings,select Settings >> Remove view-specific settings.
When you have a high-DPI diplay, the GUI may display with a tiny font andwidgets. In this case, trying a higher Java version (9 or higher) may resolvethe issue. This is untested. Alternatively, if you use Windows 10, you can trythe following quick fix:

I am having difficulty getting plotly graphs to show up in Shiny. What I have noticed is that the plots do not show up the first time I run the app, but then show up subsequently. I used the following example as an illustration: -plotly-events/
I faced the exact same issue. I used a workaround.
I was earlier launching the app from cmd prompt: rscript.exe tool.R
I, now, changed it to 2 steps. I created a run.R which had the following command:
