Description
Structorizer is a little tool which you can use to create Nassi-Shneiderman Diagrams (NSD).
|
Why having started this project?
In fact, I was not satisfied by the result of other NSD-editors, so I started writing my own one.
I think I started drawing the first schemes and thinking about it's internal structure in july 2006.
The first lines of code were written during the summer and for september a first more of less functional
version was available.

Project history
I will not draw the entire changelog here, but just a few lines that, I think so, could be of interest:
-
The first version, called "Structorizer 2006", was written in "Delphi 6 PE".
-
In january 2007 I decided to rename the project to "Structorizer", as "2006" did no longer apply and a lot of new features waited to be integrated.
-
Somewhat later in 2007 I ported the project for the first time to "Lazarus". I published a Linux version
as well as the source code under the terms of the GPL license and called this sub-project "openStructorizer".
-
I got my first Mac in may 2007 and wanted to have the application run in native mode. I did a second and this time complete port of the project to "Lazarus". Waiting for the next release to be published, I renamed the old project
to "Structorizer (Delphi)" and stopped both of them.
-
I will publish Windows, Linux and Mac OSX (intel) ports of the new "Structorizer (Lazarus)" project. This will be completely open-source this time!
-
After the release of the Lazarus version, major problems were detected for the Windows port. This is why I came back to the Delphi code and continued developing "Structorizer (Delphi)", which will be
published as freeware.
-
Due to to many problems with Lazarus, I decided to implement a Structorizer version in JAVA in december 2007.
This version, which has also been released under the terms of the GPL, became version number 3.x.
|
Is there any license?
Since version 3, Structorizer is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation
