Hi,
Right now, the MOGraphAlgorithm is responsible for two things:
- graph creation
- algorithm
OK that sounds better. Indeed, that's one question I asked myself a long time ago. I
decided to go with one class fits all usage to keep the API in a single class. But if
there is a need to use the graph builder outside, it would be good to decouple
MOGraphStructure (and rename it to MOGraphBuilder then).
I will add an issue.
I am suggesting to decouple these because so that the graph creation can be reused in
other contexts. Once we have a graph we should be able to pass it to the algorithm we
want.
For example, the Mondrian figures could reuse the creation and the Mondrian layouts could
reuse the algorithm. In a similar way, I am now playing with another graph structure given
by architectural descriptions and I could reuse those parts.
Cheers,
Doru

Hi,
I am looking into the Moose-Algos-Graph package. It's pretty cool, especially that
you can create graphs easily.
The only problem I encountered so far is that I cannot create nested graphs.
I just see now that MOGraphStructure is a subclass of MOGraphAlgorithm and that
MOGraphAlgorithm has nodes and edges. This means that these can handle only one level of
nodes and edges.
This problem was solved in Mondrian by making each node or edge a graph. Using a similar
approach, MOGraphAlgorithm could then just point to one root node that holds everything.
Or maybe we need a MOGraphBuilder that creates the graph and MOGraphAlgorithm just deals
with a set of nodes and edges.
What do you think?
I am not sure I understand the use case? The main idea behind this library is that you
have a model which is already some kind of graph (possibly nested), then to run algorithms
efficiently you have to inject your model into a graph with dedicated data structures
(MOGraphNode, MOGraphEdge and subclasses). For now, I haven't dealt with algorithms
which solve problems with nested graphs.
