Abstract :
The GraphVBT interface is used for programming algorithm animations within the Zeus system. GraphVBT provides a small number of primitive objects types (vertices, edges, vertex highlights, and polygons) and methods on them that are flexible enough to apply to animations of many classes of algorithms. The interface is presented and examples of its use are shown
