Dagger

for creating and operating an object of a DAG hierarchy in a DCC tool.

Examples

import dagger.dagger as dagger
dagTest = dagger.DAGstructure("dagTest")

# register dag top dag node "top_gp"
dagTest.construct("top_gp")

# print out to console
dagTest.printout()

>>> top_gp
        test_gpA
            test_gpB
                test_gpC
                    test_jntA
                test_gpD
                    test_jntB


# export as .xml file
dagTest.export_xml("D:/test")

Plans

• Add GUI
• Change to be independent of DCC tools
• Support for .json
