I suggest that we (everyone who read this issue) add a command to trigger GUI, some things like igel -g or igel -gui.

well said. I like the idea of igel gui. If you like this feature and find it exciting, you can work on it ;)

The GUI should have:

• TKinter entries for parameter of .yaml file
• TKinter buttons to import, export, fit, evaluate, predict, experiment, help. For help button I think it will open igel doc to reduce work for anyone who make, contribute, maintain this part.

Note: Import, export .yaml files

@dinhanhx I don't mind that ;) However, I was thinking that a yaml file will not be needed in the gui funtionality. Instead, the user can upload the data as csv (or maybe enter the path to the data), select the model he wants to use (from a select button with multiple items) and then click ok. This were my thoughts but It's flexible ;)

Your idea is more user-friendly than mine

@dinhanhx please tell me If you are working or want to work on this in order to clarify the state of this feature ;)

@nidhaloff I want to work on this feature but I am quite busy with university work at the moment

I could write something up for this using a basic tkinter UI, but there seem to be quite a few available options under read_data_options. Perhaps something like a button that allows you to add another data option from a dropdown?

@peter-shoes Thanks for joining the project. Yes a drop-down menu was also what I thought about. I think that would be great, otherwise you can be creative as you want ;)

@nidhaloff I started working by hardcoding the options, but it occurred to me that you might wanna update things in the future. I was able to find options for "type", "split", "preprocess", "model", and "target" in the code to pull from, but there is nothing referencing any of the "read_data_options". Should these just be hardcoded?

@peter-shoes You mean default values? you are right. I provided default values for "split", "preprocess" etc.. but I didn't do that for read_data_options yet since it's a new feature that I implemented this week. The read_data_options are basically the arguments that will be given to the read_csv function of pandas. Check it out here

@nidhaloff just an update! i've been working on this and i think i'll just do the one pull request when i've completed it. i'm taking strings from the readme in order to get these massive lists of options for "model_type" and "read_data_options". should be done by the weekend probably?

@peter-shoes Alright cool. Happy coding ;)
