# Graph mode - A major mode to create, edit and display discrete element graphs.

This project is a major mode to assist creation and editing of SVG
images depicting discrete element graphs, optionally with presentational
properties. The creation of such images may be of interest to
engineers, pure mathematicians with an interest in graph theory,
computer scientists, data administrators and others.

The user specifies the topology and simple presentational attributes of the
system and emacs takes care of the rest. Interaction is via conventional M-x
interactive commands, or by keybindings/mouse movement.

If desired, the SVG output may be edited using an external tool or by
hand. Keeping the generated SVG readable and easy to edit is a design
goal of the project.

Example uses may include the creation of flow charts, entity-relationship
diagrams, UML, block diagrams, and abstract graphs.

This talk will demonstrate use of the mode, describe how it works, and
discuss possible future direction.
