[Openjgraph-development] Force-directed layout using logarithmic springs

[Jesus M. S. Jr. <jm...@ih...>]

I have just implemented a force-directed layout using logarithmic
strings. I wish I can show it all to you from here, but you can see it
for yourself. 

It aint perfect, but its getting better. To see it run, download the
latest source from CVS ( its not part of a release as of this writing ),
then run: 

	java -classpath classes/ examples.SampleDirectedForceLayout 

You should see a VisualGraph that tries to find the equilibrium by
constantly adjusting the positions of the vertices. Its running on a
separate thread. Heck, you can even add vertices and edges while it is
adjusting itself, and it will include the changes in its layout
automatically. ( Haven't tried deleting a vertex or edge though while
the layout is running ). 

To cancel the layout, just click on the layout button, then click on it
again to start it again.
