Constraints may +be either requirements or preferences. Client code specifies the +constraints to be maintained, and the solver updates the constrained +variables to have values that satisfy the constraints. + +A technical report is included in the distribution that describes the +algorithm, interface, and implementation of the Cassowary solver. +Additionally, the distribution contains toy sample applications written +in Smalltalk, C++, Java, and Python, and a more complex example Java +applet, the "Constraint Drawing Application". + +More information is available on our web page: + +http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/constraints/cassowary + +See README for more details on getting started using these packages. +See NEWS for a history of user-visible changes. +See LICENSE for legalese regarding use of this distribution. + |
