It sounds, in the rest of this thread, as if there may, or may not, be
some progress towards allowing cyclic graphs in leo, which I would
find very useful, for some of the things I would like to do with leo.
Just to keep the rest of the thread uncluttered and productive, let
me state my dissenting opinion on the "Graph World Aha". Leo can
represent bitmaps with a node layout like this:
@bitmap 200 100 8
@row
@pix 234 56 2
@pix 34 156 22
@pix 22 34 156
...
@row
...
A plugin can "load" these from the leo outline, and "save" them back to
it. To me, the "Graph World Aha" is only marginally more useful than
this. Of course anything can be represented with this kind of
approach, and really if you want to do this you might as well just use
a single node with base64 body text encoding an established
representation of the entity you're storing.
That's my take on the "Graph World Aha" - I have a bunch of thoughts
about some of the other parts of this thread, but I just wanted to
state this clearly seeing that aha is often referenced in this
discussion. It would probably be useful if I started a wiki page to
layout where, why, and perhaps how I see cyclic graphs fitting in to
leo.
