GeoMAMOS

Description

The system is designed for manipulation and monitoring of geometric objects based on prespecified instructions during or after the execution of geometric algorithms. It contains various components, some of which are still under development. In particular, GeoSheet (version 1.0), a distributed interactive graphical user interface for input and output, built on top of xfig is available. It is currently implemented in C++. It has inherited classes of objects from LEDA and contains some other classes of objects locally developed at Northwestern University. The user can interactively draw on a GeoSheet as input to an algorithm before or during the execution of the algorithm, and the output can be directed to either the same GeoSheet or other GeoSheets on the machine at the local or remote site on the network. This is useful for testing and evaluation of various algorithms with visual aid, eliminating the need of text files as input and output.
