|
|
Cassowary is an incremental constraint solving toolkit that efficiently
|
|
solves systems of linear equalities and inequalities. Constraints may
|
|
be either requirements or preferences. Client code specifies the
|
|
constraints to be maintained, and the solver updates the constrained
|
|
variables to have values that satisfy the constraints.
|
|
|
|
A technical report is included in the distribution that describes the
|
|
algorithm, interface, and implementation of the Cassowary solver.
|
|
Additionally, the distribution contains toy sample applications written
|
|
in Smalltalk, C++, Java, and Python, and a more complex example Java
|
|
applet, the "Constraint Drawing Application".
