There are a lot of features GraphDonkey has to offer, all of them for your
ease of use! Let's list some of them:
- See all your languages as they were meant to be seen with the highly customizable syntax highlighter!
- You've written an error and don't know where? No longer! Because
GraphDonkeyis able to display both syntactical and semantical errors, so you can detect the issues in an instant! - Ever gotten tired of moving your mousecursor while working with a GUI? I know I have. The superflexible shortcut system allows you to assign a shortcut to any possible functionality.
- We all like to take a look under the hood, see what's going on in the bare bones of the tools you're using. Now you can! The builtin AST viewer allows custom language makers to immediately have a good overview of what's going on. In fact, if something is not working and you're pretty sure what you're doing, you might find an issue this way.
- Not a fan of light themes? No problem! Under "Preferences > Theme and Colors"
you can change all the colors and styles that are used in the editor. What's that
you say? You don't want to go through the bothersome task of hand-picking colors
until they fit? You don't have to!
GraphDonkeycomes bundled with five patiently selected, visually appealing themes, based on the ones you know and love from other editors. And it doesn't have to end there! You can adapt themes or create completely new ones and save them for future use or share with the community. GraphDonkeycomes bundled with a clean and simple snippet system, for saving your favorite codes for future use, combined with an autocompletion system, in case you've forgotten what to type.- Adding your own (domain specific) languages was never this easy! Use the builtin lark parser to create your grammars without needing to bother about anything else!
- Export your graphs and visualizations with the press of a button! No more need for remembering the right commands!
- ... and so much more!
Does that tickle your fancy? Yes? Excellent! What are you waiting for? Get
GraphDonkey now!
Wait... did you say no? There is so much more left to see and discover that you
cannot possibly know that! So go ahead and get GraphDonkey, I'm convinced you'll
be amazed!
By default, GraphDonkey comes bundled with:
- The Graphviz rendering engine to bring your graphs to life,
complete with a full grammar checker for the
Graphviz dotlanguage. - A Flowchart / Pseudocode language that not only allows you to type clean and understandable pseudocode, but also see it visualized as a flowchart.
Take a look at the wiki and allow GraphDonkey to do the donkey work for
you!
It's important to list your sources if you're working on a project. One does not have to reinvent the wheel, but rather list the blueprint that was used in creating it.
- Icons for the GUI came from the qtango GitHub project
- The
GraphDonkeyicon, themes and source code were custom-made by me. If you want to use it elsewhere, you must reference this project. This project is also licensed under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
