The wmt.yaml file

This file describes how the parameters listed by the model developer in the parameters.yaml file are represented and displayed in the WMT client. There need not be a one-to-one correspondence between the files. Additional, private, parameters (typically prefixed with an underscore) can be defined in wmt.yaml to augment how the model's parameters are displayed. Using component hooks, these private parameters can be translated into a form for the model's parameters.

The run/visualize API call

Add a parameter, _visualization, to wmt.yaml with the path to a file in a model's output to display in a browser window from the WMT client. If this parameter isn't present, a directory listing for the component is displayed instead.

This only works for the driver. This could be changed.
