File Directory Navigation

(folders in italics)

· GraphSynth1.0.2.1

· input (directory for seed graphs)         

· output (results saved here from search process)

· rules (rules and rule sets saved here)

· GraphSynth (main code)

· 1.Representation (includes grammarRule.cs, designGraph.cs, node.cs, arc.cs, etc.)

· 2.Generation (RecognizeChooseApply.cs, chooseViaHumanGui.cs, and randomChoose.cs)

· 3.Evaluation (a placeholder for evaluation methods; includes EvaluateSwirls.cs)

· 4.Guidance (a placeholder for guidance methods; includes the optimistic but useless GetToOptimum.cs)

· XMLandIO (includes the parts of classes used for opening, saving and interacting with user. e.g. designGraphXMLIO.cs, also the ProgramGlobalVariables.cs class for global variables established by App.config)

· DisplayForms (all of the Windows Forms created for GraphSynth, the main one is mainForm.cs)

· Resources (includes pictures, these help files, and the Netron Graphics Library)

· App.config (an XML file where all global variables are stored).

· candidate.cs (the class that is passed among the representation, generation, evaluation, and guidance modules. It primarily contains a designGraph of a solution)

· inheritedGeometryClasses.cs (an example of classes that can be created to inherit from node and arc, but contain additional fields, methods, etc.)

· Program.cs (the entry point of the application. The end of the file includes the runSearchProcess function).

· GraphSynth.csproj, GraphSynth.csproj.user (Visual Studio files containing the properties of the GraphSynth project).

· bin, obj, Properties, and resources (directories created by Visual Studio, the executable, GraphSynth.exe is found in bin\Release\)
