class AutoSimVizGUI:
    """
    Organize a set of widgets for input data together with
    buttons for running a simulator and performing visualizations.
    The input data are represented by a Parameters object
    from the ParameterInterface module.
    The individual parameters in this object are represented as
    InputPrmGUI instances.
    The application code creates Parameters object
    (recall to call addend() after all parameters are registered).

    The method make_prmGUI takes the Parameters objects,
    makes the associated widgets and packs them in an appropriate
    GUI. All widgets may appear in one column, in the order the
    parameters were registered in the Parameters object, if
    sort_widgets is false. Otherwise, two column of widgets are
    made: one with sliders and one with the rest (checkbuttons,
    entries, options). The sequence of widgets in the latter case
    is determined by the sequence of registration in the Parameters,
    e.g., all sliders are grouped in their original sequence,
    all option menus are grouped in their original sequence, and so on.

    The method make_buttonGUI creates buttons for simulation and
    visualization, plus an optional logo and a help button.
    If more buttons are wanted, one can add these to the
    button_frame Tkinter.Frame attribute.

    There is an optional column of widgets with BLT graphs for
    curve plotting, enabled by the make_curveplotGUI method.

    The great advantage of this class is that the application code
    can concentrate on defining input parameters to a problem,
    the simulation and visualization functions, and leave it to
    this class to put everything together. It is then an easy task
    to change the layout of the whole GUI in one common place.
