A simple demonstration of Red-black trees and their analogy to B-trees of order 4 (also known as 2,4-trees). Features include:
- interactive shell for tree operations
- visualization of Red-black tree and the corresponding B-tree using Graphviz
- automatically indexed visualizations are saved after each command
This project was created in Xcode 5.1.1 and tested on Apple LLVM 5.1 with GNU++11 dialect. In order to successfully run the demo, Graphviz command line utility dot version 2.36 or newer is required.
I would like to thank my family for enabling me to complete this project and my colleagues for their kind help and clever insights.
This utility was created as a university project and was ment to be used mainly in academic environment for educational purposes. If you wish to use it otherwise, you are free to do so. However, I would like to emphasize that there is no warranty or support of any kind.
