further development? xygraph?

[mhlr]

Is any further develpment planned for xyjax? I would be particularly interested in the \xygraph feature and the completion of \xypath and \xyarrow.

hi @mhlr,

I want to develop all features of http://sonoisa.github.io/xyjax/xyjax.html#ToDo if possible.
But, I'm very busy these days...sorry...
Could you please wait for a while?

[mhlr]

That is great. I just wanted to check that xyjax was not abandoned.
It looks like the best option for including diagrams in markdown based
websites like github pages.
Do you have a rough idea when you will be able to work on it again?

thanks
Daniel

Have you thought above submitting GSOC proposals
for the graph feature and the knots and links feature?
Looks like they would make nice well defined projects.
Too late for this year but maybe for 2016.

hi @mhlr,
Sorry, I kept you waiting.
I started the development of the xygraph feature today.
I'm just analyzing the specification of the xygraph feature and the xypolygon to design the program.

Hi Isao,

Great to hear!!
Thanks for letting me know!

cheers

Hi. Great to see that the Xy-pic notations are still useful! As the original author of Xy-pic itself I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about the xygraph command or any other parts of Xy-pic.

[mhlr]

@kristofferrose Thanks! I think Xy-pic is will have a revival thanks to XyJax. In combination with light markup languages like Markdown, it can be used in platforms like Jekkyl and Pelikan and even in IPython notebooks. I do not think it has any real serious competition in these situations. Languages like TikZ and Asymptote would require complete interpreters to be developed.

Dear Daniel,

Xy-pic is still doing well in CS theory conference proceedings.

One thing that would be interesting would be to identify the XyJax subset
and extensions and support such also in the master Xy-pic for TeX.

Best,
Kris

Hi Kris,

I did not mean to imply that xy-pic was not doing well elsewhere, only that it is a real win in online scenarios.

I do not completely understand what you mean by "identify the XyJax subset
and extensions and support such also in the master Xy-pic for TeX"

regards
Daniel

I assume that XyJax implements a subset of the Xy-pic grammar. It might be
useful if already Xy-pic recognized this subset so it was easy to write
LaTeX documents that could be used for both. --K

@kristofferrose
I had few things come up over the last 2 years :)
If you are still interested in this the supported subset is described here: http://sonoisa.github.io/xyjax/xyjax.html#ToDo, @sonoisa would have more details.
What support in the xy-pic master do you have in mind?

regards
Daniel
