algorithm-visualizer Documentation

This repository is part of the project Algorithm Visualizer.

tracers.cpp is a visualization library for C++. You can use it on algorithm-visualizer.org or locally on your machine.

Prerequisites

• libcurl

Installation

1. Download and extract the source code in the latest release.
2. Change directory to it and run:

```bash mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make install ```

Usage

```cpp // import visualization libraries { #include "algorithm-visualizer.h" // }

#include <vector> #include <string>

// define tracer variables { Array2DTracer array2dTracer = Array2DTracer("Grid"); LogTracer logTracer = LogTracer("Console"); // }

// define input variables std::vector<std::string> messages{ "Visualize", "your", "own", "code", "here!", };

// highlight each line of messages recursively void highlight(int line) { if (line >= messages.size()) return; std::string message = messages[line]; // visualize { logTracer.println(message); array2dTracer.selectRow(line, 0, message.size() - 1); Tracer::delay(); array2dTracer.deselectRow(line, 0, message.size() - 1); // } highlight(line + 1); }

int main() { // visualize { Layout::setRoot(VerticalLayout({array2dTracer, logTracer})); array2dTracer.set(messages); Tracer::delay(); // } highlight(0); return 0; } ```
