[Edu-sig] Gato - Graph Animation Toolbox

[Burley, Brent]

Just stumbled onto this:  
http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~gato

Gato can display a graph (i.e. nodes and edges) and animate an
algorithm that is operating on the graph.  It works a bit like a
debugger with a python code window that allows stepping, breakpoints,
etc., but it also allows the speed to be regulated so you can just let
it run and watch the animation.

It uses only Tkinter so it's very portable and trivial to get
running.  Gato is interesting in its own right for teaching graph
algorithms, but it's also useful in showing what's possible with
python and Tk.
