Tangle
Tangle aims to untangle your graphs, by providing a set of classes for managing different types of graphs, and mixins for adding specific feature sets.
Graph types:
- SimpleGraph
- MultiGraph
- DiGraph
- DAG
- ~~Tree~~
Feature mixins:
- Filesystem directory graph
- ~~Coloring~~
- ~~GraphViz~~
See the changelog for recent changes.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'tangle'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install tangle
Usage
g=Tangle::SimpleGraph.new
g.add_vertex name: 'a'
g.add_vertex name: 'b'
g.add_edge 'a', 'b'
g.connected?
=> true
g.add_edge 'b', 'b'
=> Tangle::LoopError (loops not allowed)
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
.
Mixin API
A mixin is a module with optional submodules for each of the classes
Graph
, Vertex
, and Edge
. If the mixin needs initial state it
should provide a keyword initializer #initialize_kwarg_KEYWORD(argument)
,
that will be called when the object is #initalize
d with a matching kwarg.
Example:
module WeightedEdges
module Edge
def initialize_kwarg_weight(weight)
@weight = weight
end
def weight
@weight
end
def weight=(new_weight)
@weight = new_weight
end
end
end
Tangle::Graph.new(mixins: [WeightedEdges])
