Abstract

Abstract I present a report of the work in progress towards building a graphical user interface (GUI) for STECKMAP (STEllar Content and Kinematics via Maximum A Posteriori). It is the first serious attempt at making a GUI for a software for analysis of stellar content from integrated spectra of galaxies. It will allow a wider fraction of the community to use this sort of tools thanks to improved user-friendliness. As a result, better understanding of these methods and their strengths and flaws will be achieved by the community. This software also has a strong pedagogical potential. It will contribute to a higher awareness of the community concerning the challenges and the oppportunities in stellar populations modelling. The homepage of the project is http://www.astro.u-strasbg.fr/Obs/GALAXIES/stecmap_eng.html .
