Last submission from me i think.

There are now two rar files dated today.

The one with help is the latest

The only difference is the help section and shortcut key changes.

Both versions have fixed quite a few things.
Give it a look!
Hopefully I won't have to touch it again :p lol

Cheers,

Phil

Have just uploaded more code (the name has todays date)

Ok, so here is where I am now.

• The status bar shows the total nodes used in the program
• the status bar shows the number of snapshots taken by the user
• when in snapshot mode, the status bar will also show the current snapshot index being displayed
• the rendering of a knot while in snapshot mode will show snapshots ONLY. it will not show what is currently being edited. (see my note below)
• a couple of the descriptions for buttons have been changed, some have been added 

a couple of things though:

• i changed some stuff in drawKnotString. i have conducted a number of tests and it seems to work fine. please pay extra attention to the drawing of the strings when testing!
• something i thought about months ago but forgot to mention: what happens if we are "playing" the animation and we try to do something else at the same time?
• i still havent managed to fix the loading problem. i don't think i will be able to fix this. we may be able to avoid drawing attention to this problem though if we are careful with our presentation lol
• i am currently looking at shortcuts and help section as well as the mouse movement

Today's meeting was rather productive.
We fixed a number of bugs, including issues with:

• loading
• undo/redo crashing when no nodes
• deleting after undoing
• restored the functionality for undo/redo 

Now we are very close to finishing! :D
I need to add a button to change the width of the strings and a button to change the name of the knot.

I shall also work on the colour issue we had with reading text (shouldn't be hard).

I am feeling rather tired at the moment so my memory is fuzzy.

Have been working on the code by fixing simple things, trying to fix the layout. There seems to be always more that could be done but as the time this is due is getting closer some things are just going to have to be left out. Hopefully I can organise a time to meet with Allen so we can implement the database part of the program. I would like to have this part done by the end of the week. I just need to know when Allen is free, besides this things are looking on track
