SV: [mcclim-devel] Problems getting "format-graph-from-roots" to work...

[Peter Braroe]

Hello again!

FIX
>It's a pretty easy fix of just turning a single root
>into a list and then calling format-graph-from-roots,

What is the most elegant lispe method for this? Could one make it a macro?
Examples? Or would it be better to fix it in the CLIM as a patch?

ERROR!
Well it sure would help a novice like me with an error! Saves a lot of head
scratching... 

EXAMPLES
It's hard to know what is OK to do and what is not OK. Since I am planning
to do a lot of tree graphs I expect I will find out what is doable and what
is not... When I am done exploring I could make a new tree-test.cl and
perhaps it could go into /Examples? Who would I send that too?

Things I would like to do are:
 - Color coded trees
 - Scaling (resize of window event re-scales trees)
 - Hardcopy (to postscript)

And more...

FUN
I am pretty new to both LISP and CLIM but am having a lot of fun with it
despite the odd frustration here and there. I am using it for some NLP
research what is everyone else doing out there with clim?

Thanks, 

/Peter

The problem arises because DIGRAPH layout has not been implemented in
McCLIM.  Tree layout is all that has been done.  Until such a time as
this has been fixed, we should probably change format-graph-from-roots
to toss an error if it is called with an unsupported layout method.

I see from your example code that you're trying to draw a tree.  Give
tree as layout method and I believe you'll be ok.

Hm.  I know that I reported this earlier.  I guess we never got around
to fixing it.  It's a pretty easy fix of just turning a single root
into a list and then calling format-graph-from-roots, IIRC.
