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

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

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make install

Usage

// 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;
}

tracers.cpp's Issues

unable to install the library on my system which helps in visualization of Cpp?

I have done as per your guidelines are given to run the software locally but the command " cmake .. " doesn't seem to work.Please look into it.I expected that things will install on system to open your original website like enviorment locally seeing the graphics and tracking code changes line by line.
