  • See the KIELER Downloads site for download details.
  • KIELER Pragmatics requires an installed Java Runtime Environment >= version 1.5.
  • The layout components of KIELER can make use of the layout algorithms provided by the GraphViz library. You may want to install that.

See the KIELER Tools and Libraries page to download the KIELER Ptolemy Browser.

  • KIELER Light-Weight Diagrams
    • Transformation options can now be structured using separators and even group labels.
      Image Added
    • Proper support for the NO_LAYOUT layout option. In particular, if that option is set on edges, these edges are not included in the layout, but are still drawn as direct lines from source to target.
      Image Added
    • KRendering's GridLayout has seen big improvements, both in terms of architecture and in terms of quality.
    • Added support for junction points.
      Image Added
    • Added zooming and layout controls for KLighD based editors and views.
  • KIELER Layout Algorithms
    • The GraphViz interface now looks for a GraphViz installation in all directories on the PATH, thus bugging less people by asking for the GraphViz directory.
      • We removed the old and buggy support for all-in-one layout of hierarchical graphs and replaced that with a much simpler, albeit less powerful solution.
    • KLay Layered now knows how to place port labels inside a compound node without them overlapping the node's contents.
      Image Added
    • The performance of KLay Layered's Network Simplex layering algorithm was greatly improved. It can now be used to layout even large diagrams.
    • We removed the old and buggy support for all-in-one layout of hierarchical graphs and replaced that with a much simpler, albeit less powerful solution.
    • The GraphViz interface now looks for a GraphViz installation in all directories on the PATH, thus bugging less people by asking for the GraphViz directory.
  • KIELER Infrastructure for Meta-Layout
    • Automatic layout can now be restricted to the currently selected set of nodes in GMF and Graphiti editors.
  • KIELER Ptolemy Viewer
    • Fixed problems displaying actors whose representation is based on images. Now every such actor is drawn correctly.
    • The accuracy of the comment attachment heuristic was improved.
      Image Added
    • Added an option to remove all the hierarchy from Ptolemy models, displaying all actors on the same level.
