Pedro, His Perro, and the Alphabet Sombrero [Large Print]

By Lynn Rowe Reed

Graphs can be used to convey information about relationshipsin many applications. State transition diagrams, PERT/CPMcharts, and entity-relationship diagrams are a few examplesof many applications involving graphs. Typically, nodes inthe graph represent items in the application and the edgesrepresent the relationships among these items. A grapheditor is an interactive tool that presents a graph to theuser pictorially and allows the user to edit the graph.This monograph presents the design of an extendible grapheditor, which is a graph editor that can be adapted easilyto many different application areas. Several fundamental andrecurring problem areas associated with graph editors areinvestigated and a solution is proposed for each. The topicsinvestigated are:- Graph layout: a layout constraint mechanism is presentedwhich can easily be combined with various graph layoutalgorithms.- Graphical abstraction: a novel clustering techniquecallededge concentration is presented which can reduce theapparent complexity of the graph.- Persistence: the graph structures produced by theeditorcan be kept in long-term storage using a standardized,external format for graphs.- Extendibility: the design of the proposed graph editormakes it easy to adapt to various applications.To demonstrate their feasibility, the proposed solutionshave been incorporated into EDGE, an extendible graph editorprotoype.

Wonderfully simple yet eye-catching!

A beautifully illustrated children's book. The Spanish/English vocabulary is great for children learning to speak a new language.

Wonderful Illustration

This book had extremely vivid and colorful illustration that caught both my eye and that of my son's. It was a creative story and taught simple Spanish words. The Spanish element of it made it more unique than most alphabet book on sale.
