The VkGraph class is a component that provides a high-level
interface to the XmGraph widget. Graphs are constructed by
specifying parent/child parents of objects, represented by the
VkNode class. The VkGraph class constructs an abstract graph from
these objects and allows applications or users to specify which
portions of the graph to display at any one time. In this way, the
VkGraph component supports graphs that can be larger than it is
practical to display at one time.
All nodes displayed by a VkGraph component must belong to the VkNode
class or a derived class. The VkNode class maintains information
about parent/child relationships and is able to create a widget on
demand to be displayed in the VkGraph component. VkGraph manages
which of the available nodes have visible widgets at any given time.

VkGraph(char *name, Widget parent);
Initialize a VkGraph object. Creates the user interface widget used
by this component.
~VkGraph()
virtual void ~VkGraph(void);
Cleanup before destroying a VkGraph object. The destructor does not
destroy any VkNode objects added to the graph.
saveToFile()
void saveToFile(void);
Save a postscript representation of the graph to a file. The user is
prompted for a filename using a file browser dialog.
twinsButton()
Widget twinsButton(void);
This access function retrieves the button widget used to control
whether sibling arcs are shown.
relayButton()
Widget relayButton(void);
Page 5
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
This access function retrieves the button widget used to relay the
graph.
reorientButton()
Widget reorientButton(void);
This access function retrieves the button widget used to reorient
the graph.
workArea()
Widget workArea(void);
This access function retrieves an XmForm widget that is located in
the bottom left corner of the VkGraph component. Applications can
use this area to add additional controls.
makeNodeVisible()
void makeNodeVisible(VkNode *node);
Scroll the graph if necessary to ensure that the given node is in
the visible portion of the screen.
tearDownGraph()
virtual void tearDownGraph(void);
Destroys an abstract graph and resets a VkGraph object to it's
initial state. All VkNode objects added to the graph are deleted and
removed from the graph.
showOverview()
void showOverview(void);
Display a second window that shows an overview of all nodes in the
graph.
hideOverview()
void hideOverview(void);
Remove the overview window from the screen.
overviewWindow()
VkWindow* overviewWindow(void);
Page 6
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
Return a handle on the VkWindow object that contains the overview of
the graph.
twinsVisibleHook()
virtual void twinsVisibleHook(Boolean vis);
This virtual function can be used by derived classes that wish to
perform some additional operations when the graph changes its
display mode from showing all arcs between nodes, to showing only a
single arc for all connections, and vice-versa.
setZoomOption
void setZoomOption(int index);
Programmatically change the scaling factor of the graph. The argument
is an index of the supported scale factors, as shown on the zoom option
menu.
clearAll()
void clearAll();
Remove all nodes from the visible graph. The abstract graph is left
undisturbed.
displayAll()
virtual void displayAll(void);
Display every node in the abstract graph. Beware of huge graphs.
sortAll()
void sortAll(void);
Sort the nodes of the graph. See the VkNode::sortFunction member
function.
add()
int add(VkNode *node);
virtual void add( VkNode *parent,
VkNode *child,
char *attribute = NULL);
Add a node or a pair of nodes with a parent/child relationship to
the abstract graph. If a node has no relationships, it is simply
entered into an internal table maintained by the graph. If two nodes
are given, a parent/child relationship between the two nodes is
established. A parent/child relationship may also be given an
attribute, which may be an arbitrary string. This attribute can be
Page 7
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
used to control the visual appearance of the arcs that connect the
two nodes. See "Setting Attributes".
undisplay()
virtual void undisplay(VkNode *node);
Remove the given node from the visible graph.
setSize()
void setSize(int size);
Some applications know in advance how many nodes will be placed in
an abstract graph. In this case, using setSize() to specify this
size in advance can save time by allowing the VkGraph object to
allocate sufficient memory at one time. The graph well expand the
tables if necessary.
resetSize()
void resetSize(int newSize);
Changes the size of the internal storage for nodes in the abstract
graph. Normally, this function is for internal use.
display()
virtual void display(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* display(char *name);
Makes a node visible. The node must have been previously added to
the abstract graph. If the node is specified by name, the first
occurrence of that name is displayed.
hideParentsAndChildren()
virtual void hideParentsAndChildren(VkNode *node);
Remove all parents and children of the specified node from the
visible display.
displayParentsAndChildren()
virtual void displayParentsAndChildren(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayParentsAndChildren(char *name);
Display all parents and children of the specified node.
displayParentsAndChildren()
Page 8
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
hideParents()
virtual void hideParents(VkNode *node);
Remove the immediate parents of the specified node.
displayWithParents()
virtual void displayWithParents(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayWithParents(char *name);
Show the specified node along with its immediate parents.
displayWithAllParents()
virtual void displayWithAllParents(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayWithAllParents(char *name);
Show the specified node along with all nodes above it in the
hierarchy.
displayWithChildren()
virtual void displayWithChildren(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayWithChildren(char *name);
Show the specified node along with its immediate children.
displayWithAllChildren()
virtual void displayWithAllChildren(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayWithAllChildren(char *name);
Show the specified node along with all nodes below that point in the
hierarchy.
displayButterfly()
virtual void displayButterfly(VkNode *node);
virtual VkNode* displayButterfly(char *name);
Change the graph display mode to display the given node as a
"butterfly", a graph that has a node in the center, immediate
parents to the left, and immediate children to the right.
displayIf()
virtual void displayIf(VkGraphFilterProc filterFunction);
Loop through all nodes in the graph displaying any node that passes
through the given filter function. The form of the filter function
must be:
Page 9
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
Boolean filterFunction(VkNode *node);
The function should return TRUE if the node should be displayed, or
FALSE if it should not be displayed.
forAllNodesDo()
virtual void forAllNodesDo(VkGraphNodeProc function);
Perform some operation on all nodes registered with the VkGraph
component. The form of the specified function must be:
void function (VkNode *node);
setLayoutStyle()
virtual void setLayoutStyle(char type);
Set the layout style of the graph. Currently the supported styles
are XmGRAPH and XmBUTTERFLY. XmGRAPH is the normal, hierarchical
display mode. XmBUTTERFLY displays a given node as the center of a
"butterfly" graph. See the displayButterfly() member function.
find()
VkNode* find(char *name);
Returns the first VkNode object registered with the VkGraph object
that has the given name.
doLayout()
void doLayout(void);
Force a layout of the current graph. Normally, a program adds nodes
to a graph, displays a subset of these nodes, and then calls
doLayout() to arrange the nodes on the screen.
doSubtreeLayout()
void doSubtreeLayout(VkNode *node);
Invoke the graph's layout routines on a subtree starting at the
specified node. No other nodes are moved or considered.
numNodes()
int numNodes(void);
Page 10
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
Return the number of nodes in the abstract graph.
graphWidget()
Widget graphWidget(void);
Returns the XmGraph widget instantiated by the VkGraph component.
Not all the functionality of the XmGraph widget is encapsulated in
the VkGraph class, and it is sometimes useful to set various
resources directly on the graph widget.
When specifying a parent/child connection in the VkGraph component's
abstract graph, it is possible to specify an attribute for that
connection. An attribute is an arbitrary name that can be used to control
the appearance of the arc widget that connects the two nodes. For
example, assume two nodes are added to a graph as follows:
graph->add(parent, child, "primary");
graph->add(parent, child, "secondary");
The resulting graph will display two connecting arcs between the two
nodes. One can now specify X resources to control various aspects of the
arc. For example:
*primary*foreground: red
*secondary*foreground: blue
*primary*arcDirection: bidirected
*secondary*arcDirection: undirected
Most resource supported by the Arc widget are supported through this
interface. The supported resources are:
foreground
toSide
fromSide
fromPosition
toPosition
arcDirection
fontList
arcWidth
style
dashes
See the SgArc man page for details on these resources.

VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
The VkGraph component sets the following default resources to control
menu labels.
"*graph*popupMenu*hideNode*labelString: Hide Node",
"*graph*popupMenu*collapseSubgraph*labelString: Collapse Subgraph",
"*graph*popupMenu*expandOneLevel*labelString: Show Immediate Children",
"*graph*popupMenu*expandSubgraph*labelString: Expand Subgraph",
"*graph*popupMenu*hideParents.labelString: Hide Parents",
"*graph*popupMenu*expandParents.labelString: Show Parents",
"*graph*popupMenu*selectedNodes.labelString: Selected Nodes",
"*graph*popupMenu*hideSelectedNodes.labelString: Hide",
"*graph*popupMenu*collapseSelectedNodes.labelString: Collapse",
"*graph*popupMenu*expandSelectedNodes.labelString: Expand",
The following code segment creates a graph that displays a simple tree of
three nodes.
#include <Vk/VkNode.h>
#include <Vk/VkGraph.h>
void buildgraph(Widget parent)
{
VkGraph *graph = new VkGraph("graph", parent);
VkNode *node1 = new VkNode("node1");
VkNode *node2 = new VkNode("node2");
VkNode *node3 = new VkNode("node3");
VkNode *node4 = new VkNode("node4");
graph->add(node1, node2);
graph->add(node1, node3);
graph->add(node2, node4);
graph->displayAll();
graph->doLayout();
graph->show();
}
The following code segment reads data from standard input in the form:
parent child parentLabel childLabel
Page 12
VkGraph(3x) VkGraph(3x)
and creates a graph. Note the use of VkGraph::find() to find an existing
node for a given unique name.
#include <Vk/VkNode.h>
#include <Vk/VkGraph.h>
void buildgraph(Widget parent)
{
char parentName[1000];
char childName[1000];
char childLabel[1000];
char parentLabel[1000];
VkGraph *graph = new VkGraph("graph", parent);
while((nitems = scanf("%s %s %s %s",
parentName, childName,
parentLabel, childLabel)) != EOF &&
nitems == 4)
{
VkNode *parent, *child;
parent = child = NULL;
if(parentName &&
(parent = graph->find(parentName)) == NULL)
parent = new VkNode(parentName, parentLabel);
if(childName &&
(child = graph->find(childName)) == NULL)
child = new VkNode(childName, childLabel);
graph->add(parent, child);
}
graph->displayAll();
graph->doLayout();
graph->show();
}
