Examples

The JavaFXSmartGraph repository includes a demonstration module that showcases various features of the library.

Examples

• Location: com.brunomnsilva.smartgraph.examples.

  • cities.Main - Representation of city populations and distances;
  • digraph.Main - The main example illustrated in README (a digraph with directed edges);
  • dynamic.Main - Real-time visualization of model updates;
  • flowers.Main - Another example on a simple graph.

• Running the Examples:

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/brunomnsilva/JavaFXSmartGraph.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory: cd JavaFXSmartGraph
  3. Build the project (including the demo): mvn clean install
  4. Try to run one of the above classes. Must be executed as a standard JavaFX application.

Key Features Demonstrated

The demo applications typically illustrates:

• Creation of graphs and digraphs.
• Different vertex placement strategies (e.g., circular, random).
• Automatic graph layout.
• Interaction with vertices (dragging, selection).
• Display of labels on vertices and edges.
• Arrows for directed edges.
• Self-loops and multiple edges.
• Determining vertex shape and size, based on the underlying model.
• Dynamic updates to the graph.
• Basic styling.

Studying the Demo Code

The source code of the demo application (SmartGraphDemo.java or similar found in smartgraph-demo/src/main/java/...) is an excellent resource for learning how to use the library's features. It provides practical examples of:

• Initializing SmartGraphPanel.
• Using SmartGraphProperties.
• Adding and removing graph elements dynamically.
• Setting up event handlers (e.g., for double clicks).

By running the demo and examining its code, you can gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate JavaFXSmartGraph into your own applications.
