This software provides and easy-to-use tool for displaying standard graph ADT algorithms in action. Using an intuitive GUI environment, you can create several types of graphs and visually trace through the execution of various traversals, spanning trees, paths, and sorts. Graphs can be created according to your own design using the GUI or input using text format. Graphs can be saved as files and retrieved for editing or reuse.
Used in conjunction with courses in data structures and algorithms or graph theory, this software provides an invaluable learning resource. It is ideal for classroom instruction where multimedia tools are available. Further, it is instructive for students on an individual basis, helping them become familiar with graph structures.
This software is portable to any common system, and will run under Windows, MacOSX, and UNIX. As a java application, this program requires you have any java version 1.6 or higher on your machine prior to installation. To run the application, simply download the gedit standalone jar file and execute it using “java -jar”.
First, you will want to become familiar with the general layout of the software and its functions. When you first open and run the software, the main graph display window appears. This is the window where you will view the graphs you work with. This window will be blank. At the top there are six main menu selections: (1) a File Menu, (2) an Edit Menu, (3) an View Menu, (4) a Window Menu, (5) an Algorithms Menu, and (6) a Help Menu. Included in each menu are the various features you will need in working with graphs.
