[comp.graphics] EDGE generic graph editor

soder@nmpcad.se (Hakan Soderstrom) (09/11/90)

Just read an article about what seems to be a very
intelligent system (a research product), running under Unix
and X windows, implemented in C++:

	"EDGE: An Extendible Graph Editor",
	Frances Newbery Paulisch, Walter F. Tichy
	Software Practice and Experience, Vol 20(S1),
	June 1990, pp S1/63-S1/88. (John Wiley)

A graph editor "knows" about nodes and arcs. A very useful
subset of more arbitrary graphics. This particular tool can
evidently be "cooked to taste" -- different graph
conventions are in no short supply.

The paper says EDGE "is currently available". Anybody know
where and how?

Well, I got it by sending a message to Francie Newbery at newbery@ira.uka.de.
The response was "send me a tape with your return address and I'll give you the
latest distribution" or words to that effect.  Overall, it is as described and
is relatively bug free.
