Plotting graphs from the nexus

PAL Tutorial - Plotting graphs from the nexus

In the current release, only the PROSE Assembly Language (PAL) is available. So be aware, it's very low-level programming at this time. To learn more about the PROSE Programming Language, visit http://prose.sourceforge.net.

It is suggested you begin with the following articles before attempting this tutorial.

• Introduction to PROSE
• Quick start guide
• Running your first program
• Short tour of PAL

A full list of available tutorials for the PROSE Assembly Language can be found on the tutorials index page.

This tutorial works through an example PAL program that creates graphs of the nexus. It requires the dot and unflatten tools from Graphviz, see http://www.graphviz.org. The program creates SVG files which will need to be displayed in an image viewer, for example eog (Eye of GNOME).
