Full Version: dynamic node adding

Hello,

I assume this is most likely well known since it popped up regularly in the forum, but for the sake of completeness.

The whole issue about inserting nodes/edges dynamically to a graph seems to be still an unsolved problem

Here just two more recent posts about it

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?t..._id=343013
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?t..._id=343013

Two concrete problems I found are
  • When trying to set the position of a newly added node it sometimes doesn't has any effect. I set up a demo demonstrating this problem a while ago
    http://goosebumps4all.net/34all/bb/showt...php?tid=31
    which was downloaded a lot but no solution was replied yet. Seems like a concurrency problem
  • Newly added nodes aren't found by the prefuse search facility. I debugged into this and came to the conclusions that this isn't a concurrency problem, but a bug in the sense that the respective field value is always inserted after the "search listener" already tried to get the new value. Of course my conclusion is most likely wrong

Quite some prefusians seem to have spent a lot time trying to solve this issue but unfortunately without any solution, only some workarounds have already arisen.
So it would be great if the prefuse core development team could fix this or give us a work around suggestion. And also if this problem is too complex to be solved right now, I think it would be great if this could be stated in order to prevent other prefusians spending their precious time on a problem which might not be solved easily.

Thank you very much

Hello,

I don't know if this forum is still working, because i haven't seen any recent posts, but i thought of dropping a question.

I am using prefuse to show a conversation graph (a little bit like a forum), and users need to add replies. I was wondering if you found any solution for this problem, because very soon i will need to deal with it Smile

Thank you
Good morning Oana,

hope you are happy.

I guess this forum is kind of still alive. I'm myself more into flare (the flash/AS3 branch of prefuse) these days but of course everyone is welcome to use this forum Wink

Concerning your question, I would like to know myself. I noticed that this question came up again and again in the prefuse sourceforge forum but as far as I observed there was no real solution found yet. Nevertheless maybe it would be worse posting your question there.

Cheers

martin
Thank you for the reply and for the advice. i will read the sourceforge forum for further info.

all the best,
oana
