Dear All, I'm writing a graph layout application which produces near optimal layouts of complex biological graphs. The graphs consist of nodes (circles on the graph) and edges (lines which connect nodes). I'm using the gnome canvas to produce very nice graphs, and I've got code to easily move nodes (but not edges). The problem I want to address is how to get edges to follow a node when it is moved. I saw a previous posting where someone had a similar problem and people suggested getting edges to listen for motion events concerning the two nodes they are connected to. Does anyone know how to implement this easily ? Or am I approaching the whole situation in the wrong way.
In your data structure for the nodes, add an GPtrArray that holds a pointer to every edge connected to that node. This will cost you some memory, since every edge is recorded (at least) twice, but you save on searching. Roland -- R.F.
