automatic graph layouter? [message #249329] Wed, 17 June 2009 11:16 Go to next message

Hi,

I am new to GEF and I am currently considering to use GEF for painting a
graph in an eclipse view (nodes should be movable and clickable but need
not to be fully editable), but I am not sure what kind of support GEF is
offering with graph layouting.
Is GEF offering a decent automatic graph layouting algorithm (minimizing
crossings, arranging nodes for better readability, etc.)?

thanks,
karin

Depending on how advanced you want to get, Zest might be a good starting
point. You get a lot of bang for your buck with not very much code to write.
