I'm new here so I will try my best. I want to visualize the Bin packing problem in C++ using First Fit. What I want is to create an initial tournament tree (winner) with external nodes as objects with certain capacity where can I put some bins. After inserting those bins, I want to get the finaly tree. What I've done so far:
I've got the algorithms running properly but simple (not anything special) in dos
I'm using VS 2015 Community and searched how to visualize binary trees with SDK but had no luck (I'm new to programming so my knowledge isn't the best)
I've searched some other external programs to visualize my tree (yEd, Automatic graph layout and graphical binary trees (but as I checked the last two use only C# )
So here is my questions: Is there any other programm that I can use to visualize Bin packing problem? Can I use those programs that I mentioned, to visualize C++ and not in C#? If it's possible to use SDK to visualize my problem I would really need some guide, or some sort of tutorial how to use it in my case.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. I'm a student and this is a project that I try to do.
I strongly suggest that you use Qt for this.
I know this will be a bit of a steep learning curve. But unfortunately there are no "native" tools from microsoft that offer the same. The microsoft SDK alone will not do. You would need something like Expression Blend. But these tools are mainly for C#.
Although there are alternatives to Qt like Wx and Gtk I suggest you try Qt. It has the following advantages:
