Describe the feature and the current behaviour/state

Can the Data Flow Graph in mediapipe be separated and become a third-party library? Use C++ language.
Like this open source project:
https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow

Purely a library, just a function of the flowchart.

There are too many features in mediapipe, and I just need flow-chart functionality.

Will this change the current API? How?

Hello @libaineu2004
This is an interesting ask. While we are delighted to know MediaPipe's graph based implementation is useful for users in this realm as well, MediaPipe is intended to be a customisable ML solution API and not graph based task decomposition for any general use case. We use the graph structure since it best suits the ML solutions need, however, we do not plan to segregate this from the solutions.

I'm sorry to hear that. Because this project is too difficult to compile and pass. I submitted the issue, #4171. I really only want to use the flowchart function.

@libaineu2004 We understand it might be difficult to compile the project. Hence we are working on new MediaPipe Tasks API which can be much more easier to use and resilient to user-defined configurations.
You can check the MediaPipe Tasks API here. However, we will not be able to segregate the graph utilities as a separate library for Data Flow.

Yes, it's hard to compile. If you can directly provide vs2019 version of MediaPipe .dll/.lib/*,h is also a good choice.
#2509

Like opencv, it can provide compiled binaries

We currently do not have plans to support this but can take external contributions.
