Project Overview
Project name: Better Graph Layout for the Graph Theory IDE
The goal of this tool is to enable Rocs (https://kde.org/applications/education/rocs) to layout graphs automatically.
The original proposal can be found here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSwr9MB5rLbrUmzXdRBjPMNPoe-hc_eY85f0KKME8oz7wR0tTAaFMzRSkGVWMiyV7XxlRmQjsKUf8nI/pub).
Work Report
Added features
I created a tool to apply layout algorithms to graphs in Rocs. This tool allows the user to select an algorithm and apply it to a graph. Algorithm specific parameters can also be selected. My GSoC proposal included three kinds of layout algorithms, one for each part of the coding phase. The current state of their implementations is shown next.
Implemented layout algorithms
The layout algorithms in this section are already implemented, tested and documented.
- Force based layout: A graph layout algorithm based on the simulation of forces acting on nodes.
- Radial tree layout: A graph layout algorithm specifically designed for trees.
Layout algorithms to be implemented in the future
The layout algorithms in this section will be implemented during the remaining time of the project.
- A layout algorithm for Directed Acyclic Graphs.
