Re: Graph-drawing tool -- what do you use?

Another package to take a look at is RGB (Reusable Graphical Browser).


It is available in the Public Ada Library (PAL) via anonymous ftp, i.e.
from `wuarchive.wustl.edu' in the directory `/languages/ada/db/rgb'.


The README file follows:
-------
ASSET_A_480: RGB (Reusable Graphical Browser), version 1.1
          This reusable software component implements a graphical user
interface for viewing the contents of an object management system. Its
purpose is to facilitate the construction of various browsing tools by
serving as the user interface component of those tools. The generic
application interface and tailorable user interface promote portability of
graphical browsing tools by isolating them from the underlying graphics
system. Tool builders need not be familiar with the intricacies of
graphics packages or windowing systems to use this product.
          RGB is implemented in Ada, with the exception of one small routine,
coded in C. The implementation is compatible with Version 11, Release 4
of the MIT X Window System and is dependent upon System's Engineering
Research Corporation's Ada binding to Motif, SA-Motif version 1.0, and
Open Software Foundation's OSF/Motif version 1.1.
          The release includes the RGB User Manual (ASSET_A_481), and the RGB
Version Description Document, which describes this version of RGB and
provides installation instructions. The documents are provided in both
plain ASCII and PostScript forms.


Supersedes ASSET_A_453

FWIW, we have extended an earlier version of the RGB to allow also editing
operations, in order to be able to build Graphical Editors instead of just
Graphical Browsers. Not surprisingly, we call our version the RGE
((Reusable Graphical Editor)...
