Hello!
I have been developing database-centric applications for a few years
now (Informix, Powerbuilder), and have recently started playing with MS-Visual
C++ and MFC. Also, I am quite new to the whole area of graphics programming. I
want to develop an engineering/CAD
application for the graphical management of a network model, in two dimensions.
The idea is to have an object-orientated design based on MFC library classes.
The attributes of the nodes and links in the network model would be stored in a
relational database. I believe MFC has database classes, which I could use for
this purpose.
For the 2-D graphical management of the node-link diagram (view whole diagram
or subset, add link, modify link, delete link, grid functions etc.), could you
recommend an API or a class library that would integrate with MFC, and allow me
to provide such functionality?
Could you also recommend resource material (books, articles etc.) which would
provide pertinent background material for this task?
Thanks a lot.
