No. I meant outlines. >>1. Unlike other browsers, you, not the browser, > > A browser to me is Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, etc. Do you mean an > "outline browser"? Good catch. I meant "class browser". >>2. Leo outlines may look like other outlines, but in fact Leo outlines are >>views of a more general underlying graph structure. > > The jargon here I don't understand is "graph structure." Good point. I didn't want to get bogged down in the term Directed Acyclic Graph. Perhaps I'll say "data structure" instead of "graph structure". > I did watch the entire Problem Solving > using Graph Traversals presentation and found it fascinating... but > WAY over my head in hopes of my ever grasping it, let alone applying > its concepts.) I am not familiar with graph DB's. Graph *theory* is a standard part of computer science. I'm not sure how familiar it is to the average computer programmer, but it should be. It's not difficult. Traversals simply describe the order in which nodes of a tree, or graph, are visited. All of Leo's iterators visit nodes in outline order, the order in which nodes appear in the outline when all nodes are expanded. Because of clones, a node may appear many times in a traversal. The all_unique_positions iterator visits a node only once. > The jargon I don't know here is "class browser" This may be jargon, but it should be familiar to almost every programmer. > The word "of" is repeated twice. Thanks. > There is no need for separate design tools because creating a Leo outlines... This might better be: There is no need for separate design tools because Leo outlines... but actually, I'll probably remove the entire sentence. It is contradicted later. > I think you mean "outline" (singular) here? > >>Programming....

Thanks for all these corrections. These kinds of nits can be hard to spot. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
