I can see navigating, visualization and querying. But
what about adding, editing and removing objects? Is GT the wrong tool for this aspect?
No, Glamour offer ways to easily build an UI. My advice is to not focus too much on the UI
aspect at the beginning of your project. The reason is that the UI is very fragile during
the inception of a project: UI changes quickly and are time-consuming to produce.
I am not clear on the class-model. Information or
pointers to documentation would be great.
What I meant is the following. If you have a data base table that has the following column
titles:
name,parent,age,location,country
Then maybe you can define a class Person, with one instance variable to a parent, another
for a location. You can have a class City with a name and the country in which the city
is.
This is what I meant by having a class model.
Once you have this, all the machinery is nearly free.
Cheers
Alexandre
Thanks.

The way I see GT, is that you do not need to
think too much about GUI. One very first step is to build a class-model to describes the
data stored in your data base. Once you have this class-model, then navigating,
visualization, and querying come literally for free.
Does this make sense? Do you need help to define the class-model?
