graphics/graphviz  -  Graph Visualization

Integrated with J, a popular graph drawing visualization library. Includes user interface Graph View and a utility to visualize sequential machines (finite automata) in testsm folder.
See doc folder and help.html in installation for furter details.

Installation

• Install the graphics/graphviz addon using JAL instructions (for corresponding version)

• On Windows, run install.bat from addons/graphics/graphviz/bin

Current distribution is for J503a* and above and Windows* platform.
On Mac OS X it requires installing http://www.pixelglow.com/graphviz

Graph View

First-time use:
   load 'graphics/graphviz'

Subsequent calls:

graphview ''                                         NB. show empty view
graphview 'digraph G { a->b }',LF                    NB. show from graph def
graphview '~addons/graphics/graphviz/testsm/cut.dot' NB. show graph file

User interface: simple and intuitive.

Use menu and help and links for further assistance.

All output uses Microsoft* Internet Explorer* as the display surface. Hence any functionality, such as context menu, plug-ins, etc. function as expected.

You may need to install additional software to be able to view certain formats:

• PDF* viewer: http://www.google.com/search?q=PDF+viewer

• SVG* viewer: http://www.google.com/search?q=SVG+viewer

• PostScript* viewer: http://www.google.com/search?q=ps+viewer

Examples: Open ~addons/graphics/graphviz/graphs folder for numerous examples.

Sequential Machine View

Sequential machine definition graph visualizer. See legend image.
Load:
   require 'graphics/graphviz/smgraph'

Use, where optional states and inputs are lists of labels, s is state table and r is initial state number:
   [states;inputs] smview s[;r]

Example (Full Size) of dyad ;: "Words" using graphics/graphviz/testsm/jdic.ijs

See ~addons/graphics/graphviz/testsm/*.ijs for examples.

Extensibility

Using ~addons/graphics/graphviz/smgraph.ijs as a model, it is possible to create custom graph visualizers for various applications.
