{1 ViewGraph}
{2 Presentation}
ViewGraph is a small {{:http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/}ocaml} library
that helps to view a graph from a dot file
in a Lablgtk canvas, and interact with it.
It reads dot files and uses the dot tool for the layout of the nodes.
You can have a look to {{:http://www.graphviz.org/}Graphviz}
to know more about the dot tool and file format.
It also uses the {{:http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/}ocaml}
graph library {{:http://ocamlgraph.lri.fr/}ocamlgraph}.
It is composed of the {{:index_modules.html}modules}:
- {!module:ViewGraph} : which is the main part and that can be used alone
to parse a file, generate an image of the graph
and add some user defined callbacks to interact with it,
- {!module:ViewGraph_select} : which can be used to add selection features
in addition to user callbacks,
- {!module:ViewGraph_test} : which is not really part of the library
but that creates a small gui to show how to use the 2 other modules.
To know more about it, the best thing to do is to compile
and test :
- [make]
- [./viewgraph file.dot]
If you don't have any dot file, you can for instance use some examples from
{{:http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php}graphviz gallery}
but please remove the size attibutes (they are not handdled yet : see below)
Notice also that if you are already using
{{:http://ocamlgraph.lri.fr/}ocamlgraph} to build some graphs,
it is quite easy to generate dot files by using
{{:http://ocamlgraph.lri.fr/doc/Graphviz.html}Graph.Graphviz.Dot}.
{2 Some more things TODO}
- some of the dot format attributes are not handled
(size and ratio for instance)
- the zoom feature is very ugly at the moment !
- as we call 'dot' once for the image and another time for annotations,
the layout is computed twice. That can be a problem for big graphs.
- instead of using PNG images from dot, we could generate the GTK objects,
and the zoom problem would be solved. This requires a lot of work,
but we hope to do it soon !
- add something to find a node by its name
- ... and more...
