Zest: The Eclipse Visualization Toolkit, is a set of visualization components built for Eclipse. Zest is a component of the Mylar project that can be used independently of the Mylar IDE support. The entire Zest library has been developed in SWT and integrate seamlessly within Eclipse because of its recognized design. Zest has been modeled after JFace, and all the Zest views conform to the same standards and conventions as existing Eclipse views. This means that the providers, actions and listeners used within existing applications can be leveraged within Zest. Many of the Zest views are being developed as part of the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF).
The Zest project also contains a graph layout package which can be used independently. The graph layout package can be used within existing Java applications (SWT or AWT) to provider layout locations for a set of entities and relationships. We currently support the following layout algorithms:
- Spring Layout Algorithm
- Fade Layout Algorithm
- Tree Layout Algorithm
- Radial Layout Algorithm
- Grid Layout Algorithm
