[Moose-dev] Spring layout in mondrian

Hi!

I had fun implementing a spring layout in mondrian. Try: -=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--= | view | view := MOViewRenderer title: 'Spring layout example'. view interaction refreshLayoutEvery: 30. view shape rectangle size: 15. view nodes: (1 to: 30). view edges: (1 to: 30) from: #yourself to: [:v | v \ 5]. view springLayout. view open -=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=--=

A spring layout was my very first program in Smalltalk, about 10 years ago. It was fun to show it to Michele. Fortunately for me, he spoke French :-)

In its actual state, the layout does not scale. If you have more than 100 nodes, it will become very slow. The algorithm complexity is quite bad. I had some ideas on making it a bit more scalable.

Cheers, Alexandre
