graph_display/graph_display.cpp

This example gives a minimalistic approach of importing a graph and displaying it with Tulip OpenGL rendering engineIn this example, we are making a standalone program that will load a graph file passed as argument to the program and display it into a new window.

The code contains a step-by-step explanation of the process, please refer to classes documentation for more information about their usage.
