Project Vision

Our inspiration for this project is to associate years with sports team total salaries. We are starting with the NFL but keeping it general to any combination of labels and a number. We believe we will have GUI Classes composing the overall frame, the panel that handles output, and a menu that allows users to choose the input type. While we know we can achieve our goal through text based table files, other classes will handle the different possible file types that we will have to read. Finally, there will be an aggregator that takes the file that has been read and prepares it for display in the GUI.
