DataStructures.UI

Contains a WPF control to visualize a graph. Use DataStructures.UI.sln and set UI\DataStructures.Demo as start up project to work with the GraphControl.

• right click on the graph control to call the context menu
• Use right click / context menu / clear / to initialize a new graph instance
• Double click on the graph control to create a new vertex
• Double click on the vertex (or right click on the vertex edit) to call the underlying vertex command (see CommandOnDoubleClick)
• Click on the vertex to focus on it
• When the vertex is in focus, click on one of the four adorner elements and move the mouse to the vertex you want to connect
• To remove an edge, click on the edge to set the focus, press DEL
• To remove an vertex, click on the vertex to set the focus, press DEL (First delete all edges for this to work)

Set up a VertexControl

• For a VertexControl you can set up a command which should be executed on a double click. (see CommandOnDoubleClick)
• You can set up a ContextMenu
• Set up the visualisation of your vertex data with a DataTemplate. See next topic.

DataTemplate

The vertex contains a generic data property Value. For this property a DataTemplate can be configured on the VertexControl style. Apply your DataTemplate to the ItemTemplate DP to represent the Data of the vertex individually.
