[gef-dev] Re: Zest - your opinion about a contribution
|
This would be very welcome to Zest.
In the case of the layout algorithm, did you look at the layout package? We tried to keep the layout separate from the graph nodes / connections. The way the layouts are rendered and the layouts themselves are orthogonal.
Regarding the export as image, how did you do this? I have done something in the past by using a paint listener and painting to a GC.
Regarding the different shapes, i would be very interested in this.
If you could open a bugzilla and attach a patch, we could start with that. (All contributions must come through bugzilla). Please CC me on the bug report.
Thanks for you interest. This is exciting!
cheers,
ian

Hi,
I'm Erika Contiero, a student of master degree in Computer Science at
the University of Padua, in Italy. For my graduation thesis I
developed a project for an open source product, using Zest as a Java
library to draw graphs.
I developed a new layout algorithm using Zest Graph, GraphNode and
GraphConnection, to place nodes with a hierarchical style, since I was
not able to obtain good results using DirectGraphLayoutAlgorithm.
I also developed a method to export the graph view as an image file,
and a method to create nodes choosing the preferred shape, not only
rounded rectangle shaped.
I'm writing this email to ask you: can this code be useful for Zest
project? How can I contribute to improve the project?
These classes now are out of Zest class structure, and they use some
data and methods added to GraphNode and GraphConnection. Should I try
to put them in Zest class structure to make them useful for Zest
project?
I hope you will give me your opinion.
I thank you very much for your attention and I hope this hasn't been
an inconvenience.
Erika Contiero
