Ubuntu is composed of many software packages, the vast majority of which are distributed under a free software license. The only exceptions are some proprietary hardware drivers.The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software. On the other hand, there is also proprietary software available that can run on Ubuntu. Ubuntu focuses on usability, security and stability. The Ubiquity installer allows Ubuntu to be installed to the hard disk from within the Live CD environment, without the need for restarting the computer prior to installation. Ubuntu also emphasizes accessibility and internationalization to reach as many people as possible.

Ocamlgraph graphical graph editor based on hyperbolic geometry

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Ocamlgraph is a graph library for Objective Caml.

Ocamlgraph editor is an interactive graph editor for GNOME; it is based on hyperbolic geometry (it "zooms" more on graph nodes which are in the center of the editing area and zooms less on periferic nodes).


Ocamlgraph editor works with the following file formats to load and save graphs: GML (Graph Modelling Language), DOT (the file format used by Graphviz).

Ocamlgraph is still to be considered experimental.


Its contribution is three-fold:
  • It provides an easy-to-use graph data structure together with several operations and algorithms over graphs, in Graph.Pack. It is a reasonably efficient imperative data structure for directed graphs with vertices and edges labeled with integers.

    Have a look at this module first in order to get an overview of what this library provides. See also demo.ml.

  • Then ocamlgraph provides several other graph implementations for those not satisfied with the one above. Some are persistent (imutable) and other imperative (mutable). Some are directed and other are not. Some have labels for vertices, or labels for edges, or both. Some have abstract types for vertices. etc.

    See interface Sig for the graph signatures and modules Persistent and Imperative for the implementations. Adserver 610x250

    These implementations are written as functors: you give the types of vertices labels, edge labels, etc. and you get the data structure as a result.

  • Finally, ocamlgraph provides several classic operations and algorithms over graphs. They are also written as functors i.e. independently of the data structure for graphs. One consequence is that you can define your own data structure for graphs and yet re-use all the algorithms from this library -- you only need to provide a few operations such as iterating over all vertices, over the successors of a vertex, etc. See module Path for an example.
  • Browse the API. Note: all modules are packaged into a single module Graph.
