Re: [Statemachine-development] More Resources

[John R. <jsr...@ya...>]

This application is straightforward, clean and
functional. It is a good baseline for the gui
component of FSM.

I liked the auto layout functionality. The developer
computes several layouts displaying the state machine
created by the user. He then displays the optimal
layout.

This will be one of the key implementation issues for
the gui. I will attempt to state the problem as
follows: "Given a set of linked states which have been
randomly placed on the screen by the user, find an
algorithm to generate a layout for these states". 

I want to explore alternatives to the algorithm used
by this application. We can embody this algorithm in
the strategy pattern, so that we can switch algorithms
later on, should we find better alternatives.

He also has other features in the app such as
eliminating unreachable states and converting from a
NFA to a DFA. We could consider these later...

Please respond with inputs for formatting
algorithms...

Thanks,
John.
