state machines visualization

Hey there...

A couple of years ago, surfing the Web all around, I found a small library to visualize state machines graphs.

To be honest, I remember that, such library, is (was ?) developed by a german student in the field of city planning... but I'm not sure.

The point is... I'm not able to find such things anymore, I'm not able to find such library.

Any suggestions ?

Thank you in advance.

Can you describe what you mean by a state machine graph? Do you mean the list of possible actions a machine can make given a state with arrows or something pointing to the resulting states?

You can depict a finite state machine with a directed graph where, by directed graph, is meant some nodes and some directed edges.

Just like this.

and that's what I need to draw in Processing starting from an adjacency matrix.

Suppose you got this matrix

[0][0] = 0.4
[0][1] = 0.2
[1][0] = 0.5
[1][1] = 0.9

the related digraph is

0 -- 0.4 --> 0

0 -- 0.2 --> 1

1 -- 0.5 --> 0

1 -- 0.9 --> 1

or something like this...
