WHAT IS IT:
e4Graph is a C++ and Tcl library that allows programs to store graph-like data persistently and to access and manipulate that data efficiently. With e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly. e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not having to know about other connections represented in the data set.
CHANGES:
For all changes, see: http://e4graph.sourceforge.net/changes.txt
Major changes: Markers are no longer supported as a storage entity; instead, each storage has a distinguished root node. Nodes and vertices are no longer explicitly deleted from a storage; instead, they are detached from their containing entity or entities, and when the user program no longer has a reference to the detached node or vertex, the resources associated with this entity are automatically reclaimed.
DEPENDENCIES:
This release requires Metakit 2.4.3, Tcl 8.3 and optionally Expat 1.95.2. Received on Sun Feb 03 2002 - 18:49:09 CET
