ge-lib v0.4.0

Group Explorer Module

Purpose

This project exposes most of the core functionality of Group Explorer 3 as a node.js module, and extends its rendering capabilities to vector graphics formats (SVG, PDF) as well as PNG.

It also provides a command-line interface to the same, so that you can generate vector graphics illustrations of group theory even if you do not want to write code.

Status

This is a beta release. I think it's working pretty well, but you can try to find bugs and report them with the "issues" link above.

Examples
