Gem-graph/README.md

# gem-graph is for: GE-ometric directed M-ulti-GRAPH

. A geometric graph is a graph whose nodes have coordinates in a space

. A graph is directed if its bonds are arrows

. It is a multigraph if several arrows can be stacked from one node to another one

. Note that 'directed' does not means 'oriented': a graph is oriented if one of its nodes is its root


Geometric directed multigraphs have properties that make them suitable for the representation of complex phenomena,
especially those where numerous different objects and types of interactions are involved.


gem-graph is a software that enables modelling with a geometric directed multigraph.


today (28-03-2011) there are two main parts in this text:
* questions about the [architecture](architecture.md): identification and naming of the main parts of this program
* and a more [theoretical text](theory.md) : Rewritten Geometric Directed Multigraphs Properties. (JS dec 2017) that could be a starting point for a publication
