3* ABOUT
4
5This feature has been developed by Magnus Sjöstrand as a master thesis subject, based on previous work by Adeel Asghar and Leonardo Laguna Ruiz. All relevant files can be found in the svn repository under org.modelica.mdt.ui.graph .
6
7* THESIS REPORT
8
9The thesis report will contain some information on how the implementation of this extension looks like so that others may improve on the current version.
10
11* REQUIREMENTS
12
13The most important thing to add in order to build this is the graphical Zest-library. It is based on SWT and Draw2D. This is currently included in the SVN checkout.
14In case you miss it you can find it by using the Eclipse update manager to install it under a correct updating site. The suggested updating site provided by the official homepage of Zest (GEF) is https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/gef-master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/update-site/
15
16If you don't find it there then you may have to unflag Group items by category to see Eclipse Zest.
17It should contain the following dependencies:
18
19  + Graphical Editing Framework Draw2d
20  + Graphical Editing Framework Draw2d SDK
21  + Graphical Editing Framework Draw2D Source Feature
22  + Graphical Editing Framework Zest Visualization Toolkit
23
24The current version has not been tested under OS X and isn't recommended until there is a stable OS X-version of MDT.
25
26* EXTRA
27
28The thesis report and upcoming user guide will also feature another view called Optimization browser, which is also a extension of MDT. This includes a view with both visual and textual tracing of the current state of a model, and what the outcome of each transformation is on a mathematical expression.
