libavoid - Fast, Incremental, Object-avoiding Line Router

Copyright (C) 2004-2009  Monash University

A cross-platform C++ library providing fast, object-avoiding connector
routing for use in interactive diagram editors.

Documentation is available for libavoid through Doxygen.  Install Doxygen and
run it in the libavoid directory to generate documentation for the interface.

libavoid is written and maintained by Michael Wybrow, a member of the 
Adaptive Diagrams and Documents lab at Monash University, Australia.

libavoid is available under the terms of open-source GNU Lesser General Public
License v2.1.  Commercial licenses are also available, for more information 
please contact Michael Wybrow <http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~mwybrow/>.

The algorithms used for the connector routing are described in:
