Directed Graph Layout Library for Delphi?

[Vincent Parrett 750]

Does anyone know of any Delphi libraries that tackle directed acyclic graphs (DAG) and layout algorithms? In particular I'm interested in a layered layout (Sugiyama's algorithm).My goal here is to produce a visual representation of a target dependency graph - something like this.
 

[Clean]   [Build]
    |________|
         |   
     [Rebuild]   [Sign]  
         |_________|
              |
           [Deploy]

It seems like every other language out there has tons to choose from (open source to $$$$ commercial), but so far I have found nothing useful for Delphi. Of course I could attempt to translate another library to delphi.. but I was hoping to avoid that if possible .

Synopse documentation builder has some of this built-in which might help... not sure how standalone it is.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

This is a bit tricky (a COM object) but it works fine on Win32.

 

You have the source code at https://github.com/synopse/SynProject

We embedded the COM object as resource with the main exe, and it is uncompressed and registered for the current user.

Hi,

 

I implemented Sugiyama here:

 

https://github.com/VilleKrumlinde/zgameeditor/blob/master/tools/ZDesigner/3rdparty/SugiyamaLayout.pas

 

It is fully defined in a single unit. I've used it in several projects and it is very fast, robust, and as far as I know bugfree :). Let me know if you need help with using it!

 

You create a subclass and override ExtractNodes and ApplyNodes methods. See this unit for an example (the TMyLayout class).

Yes, exactly that. I initially used it for a class diagram tool.
