I thought about using it, but since it returns only straight lines in the image it's probably not very useful for curved edges and for node shapes there are probably also better ways. For edges the skeleton has been working really well

by ygra 7y ago
Yeah, we intentionally omitted edge crossings. There's prior research in dealing with them and those approaches work well (and are clever), so we thought it wouldn't be terribly useful for us to re-invent that part. The papers are

For us the most attractive option would probably be to wrap yEd Live in Electron. We're not a large team and rewriting yEd with something else is a major undertaking (especially for a tool given away for free). That makes it hard to ju

There's a bus-like edge router under Layout > Edge Routing > Orthogonal / Bus-style. This may require some tweaking of the settings for your particular drawing. https://i.imgur.com/YV3NFAQ.png

(yWorks employee and developer (though not on yEd) here.) Thanks for the kind words. One note: yEd does have grid snapping (look for the grid-like icon in the toolbar or View > Grid). Personally, though, I rarely need the grid, as the no

(Disclaimer: yWorks employee and developer here) We do have a more modern web-based graph editor: https://www.yworks.com/yed-live/ It may lack features you need, as the idea was a less cluttered and more modern UI, not

yWorks employee, developer and one of the authors of that blog post (and the described code) here. Happy to answer any questions regarding graph drawing or recognition.

(Disclaimer: yWorks employee) If you still have that graph somewhere, we'd love to see it. We're always curious (and sometimes surprised and astonished) what people create with yEd. As far as competitors go, there are lots of othe

I think Wikipedia has macros that allow you to create a variety of charts with just textual information. I've seen at least timelines and family trees being created that way. The benefit is that it's text-editable, and the informa

Google Maps at least renders the map as a sphere on all zoom levels by now, if I'm not mistaken. So one place less to get confused about the shape and size of things.

The goal for this might not be to be visually pleasing, but to recover the actual colors of what is underwater. And yes, in that respect it should be physically accurate. She uses a color chart and multiple images from different distances.

Is there a point to this? I've long been wanting to implement hand-drawn styles for our interactive graph editing component, but one part that kept me from doing it was that I had no idea how to keep the strokes stable enough to not in

Nothing is tied to anything on Windows in that respect. Contrary to how other systems handle this. On Windows you have locale/culture (how to format numbers, dates, etc.) separate from UI language (what language menus, buttons, etc. sh

It's been global by default since Windows 10, AFAIK (and comes with a better (well, a ) UI for switching as well with Win+Space. I've since disabled all the other shortcuts, as I've been hitting Alt+Shift far too often.

Yeah, I'd say yEd fits into the same category the author noted at the very beginning: It's a graphical tool for creating graphs. yEd does support several file formats to import, some of which are text-based, e.g. TGF, but they&#x2

Word stores the text language as part of the formatting, effectively, and it can change mid-sentence. Spell check wouldn't really work otherwise in multi-language documents. So you probably have to select everything once and set your p

It's probably either this behavior or a statement in the finally block that doesn't run, even though it's guaranteed to. Either way, some assumption of normal program behavior is invalidated. Unless one goes the PowerShell wa

Out of curiosity, have there been features that were thought to be part of JS one day, added by TypeScript, and then abandoned for JS again, leading TS to rip them out as well? Or do such vestiges remain in TypeScript and have to be changed

How well do those tools work with arbitrary CSV files, e.g. containing line breaks or quotes in field data? I wasn't aware that they can actually parse CSV and instead you have to assume things about the content that may not end up bei

It's sadly completely broken around non-ASCII filenames (at least on Windows), which happened to be a major problem the two times I tried using it.

I don't often need this, but in Hg I simply use commits for that and use histedit to clean up later. The staging area basically is just a commit, just one that's not part of your history yet.

Wouldn't it be enough if there was an obvious event for actual text input? WPF for example has that and it's the obvious and IME-friendly choice, since of course not every keystroke results in a character (dead keys exist too, aft

Both the Desktop and the taskbar belong to Explorer and trying to close that is what triggers that dialog. Both still work in Windows 10.

As someone who works in graph visualization, this looks like just another case of a default hairball visualization (those often arise when combining force-directed layout with dense graphs): beautiful pictures (in the sense of nice to hang

Pedestrian areas in the city center here usually get delivery trucks in the early morning and after ~8:00 or so no cars are allowed in that zone. Seems to work well. Construction sites are an exception and while inconvenient I doubt people

I understood it as that the thick border is just the focus highlight.

How well does that work in corporate environments (which I'd guess would be the last vestiges of IE 11 use)? If you can't tell them to use a different browser now, why would it be different after Edge is Chromium-based?

That's WSL 1 you're thinking about.
