Hot damn, new toy to play with ... thanks for the linkage!

I've been playing around with Microsoft's Graph Layout Engine (GLEE)[^]. I'm impressed. It's pretty straight forward and simple to use. :cool:

So far this is the only difference. My response would be, "so?" If you reinvent the wheel but say it is only meant for dodge cars, my response would still be the same. :)

it's chock full of .Net-y goodness? Oh, and looks like you can't use it in anything commercial. So, yeah. That.

I did say it was from Microsoft. That should have been sufficient. :-D

Yeah... ;) It's funny though; there seems to be a re-occurring thread here where someone complains about Project X being crap because it's GPL and that's no good for commercial use due to the viral nature of the license... in this case, using the MS library explicitly limits your project to educational use, regardless of what you use it for or how you distribute it.

actually, I have no need for it ... but I'll enjoy digging into the code and the general messing around with it.

And then don't kick yourself for not knowing it. :) no one knows everything. :) Except, maybe, the great and powerful Shog9. But the big problem is, I can't just share everything I know, I don't know what other people don't know. :) I have been graphing with GraphViz for years, I didn't know everyone didn't know about it. I learned about it through Doxygen, then started making my own graphs directly for various presentations, or inserting directly into Doxygen documentation. It is amazingly easy. It really doesn't get complicated until you need multi-word graph titles for nodes. Single word graphs can be put together so fast that a south carolina miss teen USA member could write a graph! ;)

I've seen a couple of MS Research projects which looked interesting but had ridiculous licensing terms like this, which, IMHO, is no different than putting it under the GPL.

Eh? Then they bought out some "mom and pop" company and stuck Microsoft on it. Just give it a full version release and 1 service pack it'll bog down.:-D

Actually, it is. I work on a lot of internal apps that, although i'm unable to release the code outside of the company, will never be available externally... so GPL is a non-issue - i'm more than happy to make the code available for any "user" that asks. From the sound of it, i'm still prevented from using this graphing library in any such project.

I thought everyone was XML headers and C# now and didn't need doxygen articles.

That's funny and usually true. However, they do have it under MS Research, which SysInternals was placed under, but I have to assume actual development here. :-D

You have any good samples? From what I've seen online, Graphviz doesn't seem to have any.

Heh, well... at some point, native development will be cool again... right?
