Node Demonstrator

Building a drag and drop desktop (Tkinter) application to help visualise various graph algorithms.

Current progress

• drag and drop interface to build a graph
  • can be weighted or unweighted
  • in "node" mode...
    • click to create a node
    • drag to move a node and associated edges
    • double-click to rename nodes, if the default names aren't sufficient
    • double-right click to delete a node
  • in "edge" mode...
    • click and drag between nodes to create an edge
    • drag to rotate a loopback edge out of the way
    • double-click to change the weight of an edge
    • double-right click to delete an edge
• choice of stepped or timed trace of supported algorithms
• available algorithms
  • breadth-first / depth-first from a given start point (with or without end point, ie traversal and/or search)
  • Dijkstra and A* shortest path

Usage

• Currently, this project uses the tweaked version of CustomTkinter that needs to be obtained directly from here until the submitted PR is approved into the main project.
• To run, install package then launch with "python -m nodemon"

Future algorithm support

• Kruskal's and Prim's minimum spanning trees
• Other algorithms from here, or here or here?
• Any other suggestions?
