[comp.sys.sun] Software Announcement : GraphEd 2.0

graphed@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de (GraphEd) (11/16/90)

GraphEd is a powerful interactive editor for graphs and graph grammars.
GraphEd currently runs on SUN-3 and SUN-4 Workstations under the SunView
user interface. Main features are :

- works with arbitary graphs
  - directed/ undirected
  - self-loops
  - multiple edges
- customizable nodes and edges
  - user-definable node and edge shapes,
  - arbitrary node sizes
  - color
  - arbitrary labels
  - label fonts
- powerful graphical user interface
  - SunView
  - easy to use
  - fast
- graph grammars
- extendable
  - interface for algorithms (Sgraph) included
- includes algorithms
  - connectivity
  - planarity test for 2-connected graphs
  - tree layout
  - DAG layout

We are currently working on three algorithms for drawing planar graphs, an
algorithm to draw petri nets and an algorithm for drawing arbitrary
graphs. Extensions to draw graphs via their graph grammar derivation trees
are under development. They should all be available next year.

GraphEd is free available for non-commercial use with anonymous ftp from
forwiss.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10). The file
archive/local/graphed/graphed2.0.tar.Z (~ 500k)  is  all you   need.
[thanks to ForWiss Passau for giving us access to their ftp service].
