A Gtk 4 graph library.
Gtkdot is an experimental integration between Graphviz and Gtk. It makes use of graphviz's Cgraph api to lay out Gtk.Widgets as diagrams and converts graphviz's xdot format in Gtk 'dialect' to render shapes ( used mainly for drawing edges ).
The library provides 2 Gtk.Widgets that may be used to draw diagrams and 2 demos showcasing their use.
- LightGraph
- SimpleGraph (experimental)
LightGraph is the simplest implementation where all child widgets are considered nodes of the resulted graph. Edges may be added between widgets, but no interactions is provided with them.
gtk-light-demo is an application showcase LightGraph usage.
SimpleGraph on the contrary, may contain widgets as either nodes or edges. It provides SimpleEdge
widget to handle edges and any other widget is considered a node of the resulted graph. It provides
functionality for adding, removing selecting as well as showing/hiding nodes and/or edges.
Additionally custom css may change the widgets styling as usuall.
gtk-simple-demo is an application showcasing SimpleGraph usage, and there is a video demostrating those capabilities.
Gtkdot is written in vala and build using meson.
