Interactive graph visualizer in NIPSYS64 (font + palette graph)
I've been working on a special mode that helps visualize various graph structures used by my engine.
For testing, I've chosen the auto-generated weighted graphs of font characters and palette colors linked according to similarity (computed as the root-mean-square error). Such graphs should be useful when converting images into pseudo-graphic text resembling ANSI art. These fonts use my extended character set named SGC, and also my 256-color shell palette. Some heuristic is used to keep the link number for every graph node reasonably small.
The graph is interactive and animated using numerical approach to solve dynamics; links produce attract forces and all nodes repel each other with exponential falloff. Some further optimizations can be done to enhance performance for larger graphs.
