[question] How can I use it with GtkSharp #287

How can I use MSAGL library with GtkSharp?

levnach commented 3 years ago

I think nobody tried it. There is an effort of porting MSAGL to JavaScript at https://github.com/msaglJS/msagl-js. I hope the JavaScript version will be more portable.

Is there example of creating a layout independent of rendering subsystem? I'm not sure I can find it.

levnach commented 3 years ago

Have a look, for example, at GraphLayout\Samples\DrawingFromGeometryGraphSample\DrawingFromGeometryGraphSample.csproj. Function DrawingFromGeometryGraphSample.CreateAndLayoutGraph does this job. A simpler example is GraphLayout\Samples\UsingMDSLayoutSample\UsingMDSLayoutSample.csproj.

Thanks. Those were helpful.

Have you succeeded to use Msagl with GtkSharp?

michaelkruglos commented 3 years ago

Yes. I took the code from CommonDrawingUtilsForSamples and modified it to work with GtkSharp and CairoSharp (drawing library). Some routing methods didn't work very well. I tested it on Windows in the mean time, and I'll try to build/run it on Linux as well. When I have more time, I may want to contribute a GtkSharp sample to this repository.

Can you leave some instructions of how you integrated MSAGL with GtkSharp? It is especially interesting for Linux.
