Improved Graph Editor

This page covers new features and modifications in version 3.0, compared to the previous release V2.1.

Socket Communication
The new graph editor application takes advantage of new features in version 3.0. The editor can talk to the API via sockets, so for example you can start uDraw(Graph) with option -server on one computer and the graph editor with option -client <hostname> on another computer afterwards.
Compact Dialogs
The dialogs of the graph editor have been re-designed to be more compact and handy. New features like tooltips, edge labels or color icons can be used here.
User Interface Configuration
When connecting the graph editor to the API at start-up time of uDraw(Graph) (e.g. using option -graphedit), the user interface is reconfigured. To avoid confusion, it looks almost the same afterwards, except for additional entries in the "View" and "Help" menu. The additional "Edit" menu and icons are the same as in the previous release.
Passing Filenames at Start
It is now possible to start uDraw(Graph) from command-line with the graph editor and an initial graph which is passed to the editor, e.g. "uDrawGraph(.exe) -graphedit my_graph_file.status"
