This page present the LPditor. This editor is a simple LP editor, but it allows plugin programming. Thus, with Modelib, it should be a powerfull tool to make some simple manipulations on linear programs.
The integration of plugins is an idea of Christophe Duhamel (ISIMA).

Let's see what can it do now !

Editor features

  1. Syntax highligting of LP format
  2. A system to call the solver of the current LP, the solution is show in a HTML format file

What we project to add in the editor

  1. MPS importations
  2. Specify a XML-based file format (this idea comes from the development of multi-level linear programs)

Plugin specification

The plugin must be develop with Qt4 because we use the Qt specific plugin system (QPluginLoader).
The interface of the plugin is implemented as follow:
/**
	This class provide the interface of plugins
	You can develop your plugins to make many modifications
	of the current LP (given as a Model)
*/
class PluginInterface
{
public:
	//! Virtual destructor
	virtual ~PluginInterface() {};

	//! Get the name of plugins (a plugin file can have many plugins)
	virtual QStringList plugins() const = 0;

	//! Return the model (it would modify the LP file)
	virtual void setModel(Model *) = 0;
};

Distribution

You can download precompiled files for Windows and Linux in the Modelib's download page.
