var renderer = new Graph.Renderer.Raphael(‘canvas’, g, 400, 300);
renderer.draw();

where g is a graph object.

Is it possible to do somehing similar with crow?

Have a nice day!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by visualization? In the online test suite I already have a couple examples, on the dunesAndDemise (click from the Watch A Test dropdown), fogOfWar (after you hit Design and Play), and perfGraph (after you hit Run One-Pass) pages. The former two require canvas to render, and the latter requires CSS3 content support. Though, as I enumerate those out, I realize they’re not completely obvious…still, was that what you meant, or did you mean something different?

I’ll take a look around JGraphT, see if there are any feature misses in my library that I could add.

Thanks!

First some feedback: I was planning to use JGraphT (Java) in the server, for a small utility I’m working on that needs a graph and a shortest path algorithhm when I realized that there was no need to send my (possibly large) data in the server and get the shortest path back. I searched for a javascript library and I can tell you that yours looks like the best solution publicly available at the moment. I found many “graph” javascript libraries out there but almost all are about visualisations and not about math graphs and algorithms.
(small suggestion, btw: add a simple visualisation in your library, you can even use one of the available libraries for it).

Ok, added the reference to crow.mini.js to my project and it seems to be ok now. Maybe you should mention it explicitly in your basic usage page for the poor souls that are not yet familiar with the idea of compiled javascript.

Thanks again, I’ll keep watching your page.

Crow does depend on Google Closure, but those dependencies are self-contained inside the built files. If you’re using a built file, you should already have them. For an example, you can check out the online test suite. To get it to use the non-minified version of files just hit the Enable Debug Mode button near the bottom.

Let me know if you have more issues. I appreciate any and all feedback! Yes, it is very “alpha”, but it should still be usable.

Thanks,

Can you give an example of a js file that uses crow algorithms WITH all needed references? Do I have to include the closure library somewhere? Is it possible to avoid it? If I don’t inlcude it I can’t a “goog undefined” error. Is there any way to just include the crow library without any compilations etc. (just as easy as including jquery with one line)?

Thanks in advance
