# GraphUI
A python-based visual [graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_%28mathematics%29) editor.
It can create and edit [GraphViz](http://www.graphviz.org/) files
specified in the [DOT language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_%28graph_description_language%29).
This is a fork of the **[GraphUI utility](https://code.google.com/p/enough/wiki/Graphui)**
from the [Enough project](https://code.google.com/p/enough/),
originally developed by [Noam Lewis](https://github.com/sinelaw)
and [Eyal Lotem](https://github.com/Peaker), but abandoned since 2007.

## Status
We have re-implemented the [PackageLibrary](PackageLibrary.md) - so now we need a major re-write of Graphui as well.
## Download
The latest version (BEFORE the anticipated rewrite) is:
[Latest Version](http://enough.googlecode.com/files/graphui488_only.tar.gz)
## Features
Graphui (pronounced grafoo-ee) is an attempt at a generic graph editing gui. The code is in the svn under [graphui](http://enough.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/graphui/).

Screenshot:
Here are the current "features":
* Automatic layout using [Dot, Neato & Twopi](http://www.graphviz.org) (Graphviz).
You can switch layout engines in real time
* Cross-platform - tested on Linux (ubuntu) and Windows
* Save and load graphs
* Connect, disconnect, add and remove nodes
* Zoom & pan
* Stretch or keep DOT's aspect ratio
* Undo/redo
* Multi-line text labels for nodes and edges
* Record animation - makes a series of BMP files you can later turn into a video
using `videowriter` or some other tool.
* All changes are animated to make it easy to see what is changing (and to make it cooler!)
More coming soon!
**Requirements**: [Python](http://www.python.org) 2.5, [Pygame](http://www.pygame.org), [Twisted](http://www.twistedmatrix.com), and [Graphviz](http://www.graphviz.org) (aka dot). On Windows you will need also [pywin32](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/).
For better performance get Pyrex too (and run setup.py build make sure to use the .so files).
Here is a short animation showing Graphui switching between layout engines:
## Applications
Graphui is still under development. Here are some ideas for applications.
* Diagram editor - the simplest most obvious application. Use Graphui instead of manual-layout programs (such as Visio and Dia) to easily create flow charts, state machine diagrams, etc.
* Graph visualization - because Graphui's format is simply pickled Python objects, you can easily create tools that make graphs from any dataset and then view/edit the graph in Graphui.
* Graph algorithms demonstration and visualization - a researcher/student may easily extend Graphui's code to work on graph algorithms in a live environment, instead of iterating between running his algorithm test program and viewing the result seperately.
### Future applications
Graphui may be suitable for testing a [Live programming](LiveProgramming.md) environment. We will have to add features for viewing the code in different ways (not just as a Dot graph), especially as a compact tree (like the one used in graphical file managers to represent the directory tree).
