GraphGUI

This project is a GUI that displays directed weighted graphs.

Introduction

This GUI is designed to load and save graphs from json files, display them on the screen,
allow various interactions such as: deleting nodes, inserting edges, running algorithms on the graph and receiving feedback.

Preplanning

The project will be consisted of two main parts: the GUI and the data structure, the GUI will serve as the main program and it will use the data structure for its purpose.
For the GUI we will have 4 main classes, each representing a page in our menu, and an additional class for displaying the graph.
The classes will use a pool of shared resources that will be available to them through a superclass.
For the data structure we will have 2 main classes, an Algorithm class, and a Graph class.
The graph will have a hashset of Nodes, each node has a hashset of edges, representing the edges that are originating in that node.

The GUI has an Algorithm object which holds a Graph object, and therefore every action we perform in the GUI translates to data changes in the Algorithm object, and internally, the Graph object.
In the app's lifecycle there is only one Algorithm object per GUI instance.

Usage

To use the GUI you need to download the Ex2.jar file from the repository.
You can download some json files that can be used with the GUI, click here.
To use the JAR, open command prompt in the folder that contains the JAR and JSON files and type the following command:
java -jar Ex2.jar (json_filename).json
Fill in the name of your json file in place of the "json_filename" in the brackets.
You should be greeted with this window:

From this menu you have 4 options:

1. Load Graph(from json file)
   When you click on this button you will be presented with a choice: choose the file in you system or manually enter a filename/filepath.
   
   
2. Save Graph(into json file)
   When you click on this button you will be requested to enter a filename/filepath, and you will be prompted about the success/failure of the file save.
   
   
3. Edit Graph
   Here you can add nodes, remove nodes,add edges,etc.
   
   
4. Algorithms
   Here you can perform algorithms the graph and see their results.
