LatVis - Visualize lattices and ordered sets!

LatVis is a tool for the automatic generation of the Hasse diagrams of ordered sets and lattices. The diagram is generated using only the informations defining the ordered set, i.e. the list of its elements and the order relation. No initial diagram is needed. It implements various methods of the diagram generation to achieve good level of readability and uses several representations of the ordered set data.

LatVis is a gtkmm or Qt application, you can choose ourself.

Features

• (internal) storing of an ordered set as a two-dimensional array, a list of lists or a tree (see documentation for details)
• editing (of an ordered set), copy&paste too
• unlimited undo-redo
• creating/generating of a diagram using the level (rather primitive), the geometric (quite interesting) and the (well-known) layer method (see documentation for details)
• marking of various subsets of ordered set elements (paths, lower, upper, minimal, ...)
• loading from and saving to the XML file
• exporting of the diagram to MetaPost and Encapsulated PostScript
• gtkmm and Qt GUI
• internationalization (English, Czech)
• multiplatform - primary GNU/Linux, ported to MS Windows
