It has been included here since it is -a new library without wide availablity. +libavoid - Fast, Incremental, Object-avoiding Line Router +Copyright (C) 2004-2007 Michael Wybrow <mjwybrow@users.sourceforge.net> + +A cross-platform C++ library providing fast, object-avoiding connector +routing for use in interactive diagram editors. + + +This is an alpha release. There is currently no documentation due to the +fact that orthogonal connectors are being worked on as well as other features +such as connector crossing avoidance. Once these features are present, +documentation will be added for the interface. At the same time, the build +system will be cleaned up to use the configure/automake tools, and the first +"offical" release of libavoid will be made. + +libavoid is currently used in the prototype research diagram editor "Dunnart": + http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~mwybrow/dunnart/ +As well as the professional open-source vector graphics editor "Inkscape": + http://www.inkscape.org/ + +The algorithms used for the connector routing are described in: + + M. Wybrow, K. Marriott, and P.J. Stuckey. Incremental connector routing. + In Proceedings of 13th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, LNCS 3843, + pages 446-457.
