[comp.theory] GraphEd 2.04 announcement

himsolt@trillian.fmi.uni-passau.de (Michael Himsolt) (03/29/91)

GraphEd 2.04 is now available via anonymous ftp from

    forwiss.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10)
    directory : archive/local/graphed

Macintosh MS Word  versions of the manuals  are also available on
the server. I can send you printed versions if neccessary.

GraphEd is a  interactive general-purposed editor  for graphs and
graph grammars.  There  is also an  interface  (Sgraph) to extend
GraphEd with  user-defined  algorithms written in C. GraphEd runs
on SUN workstations under the SunView interface.

Application fields include :
- Graph layout algorithms
- Graph theoretic algorithms
- Graph grammars
- Algorithm animation
- Graphical front-ends

Major changes to version 2.0 :

- A new graph grammar type 1-ENCE has been implemented. 1-ENCE is
  similar to 1-NCE, but includes edge labels in the embedding function.

- We have added many new algorithms :
  - Hopcroft-Tarjan Planarity Test
  - Spring Embedder for layout of arbitrary graphs - with animation
  - Convex drawing of planar graphs
  - A algorithm for straight-line drawings of planar graphs
  - A new algorith for drawing planar graphs developed by Uwe Schnieders

- Many bugs fixed, espcially a memory leak that caused GraphEd to
  allocate several megabytes of memory.
