Random Graph Generator and Layout (RGGL)

This tool has two basic features:

• Generate random graphs and trees using a variety of algorithms
• Display the generated graphs or custom ones (from files) into an interactive and graphic environment

Getting Started

This project is ready-to-build for windows x64 and linux x64 systems, using make. For any other system you need to rebuild prerequisite libraries and put them in the correct folder.

Prerequisites

SFML (https://github.com/SFML/SFML) -> build shared libs, then put object libs into 'sfml/lib/' and shared libs into 'bin/'
ImGui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) -> build shared libs manually, then put object libs into 'imgui/lib/' and shared libs into 'bin/'

Building

It is a portable project, you don't need to install it.

Just run:

make

If you need to clean objects and binaries:

make clean

Usage

If you are using linux you have to add the exe folder to LD PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.

In order to open the program in GENERATOR mode you only have to execute it:

./rggl.exe 

In order to open the program in DISPLAY mode you have to execute it with parameters:

• First parameter specifies the input file encoding: 'al' for Adjacency List, 'am' for Adjacency Matrix
• Second parameter is the input file

./rggl.exe (al/am) filename

Input file encoding

The input file can be encoded in two ways:

AL: Adjacency List

numnodes
x x x ... (end with -1)
x x x ... (end with -1)
...
(numnode times)

Where x is the number of the adjacent node

Example:

4
1 2 -1
3 -1
0 1 -1
2 -1

AM: Adjacency Matrix

numnodes
x x x x x ... (numnodes times)
x x x x x ... (numnodes times)
...
(numnode times)

Where x can be: 't' for true or 'f' for false

Example:

5
f t t t t
f f f f f
f f f f t
f t f f f
f t f f f

Guide

In GENERATOR mode you have a menu at the top right where you can find multiple options for graph generation and to save the graph into a file

By default the graph is saved in a file called 'output.txt'

Interactivism

In both modes you can inspect the graph:

(Left click + Drag) -> move arround
(Right click on a node + Drag) -> move node arround
(Mouse scroll) -> zoom
(Left shift + mouse scroll) -> node size zoom
