The problem was indeed that daVinci_end is called, and that it closes the Edge and Attribute stream (the Out stream remained open). I've solved this by adding a flag variable `daVinciMore`, which is set to 1 in daVinci_end. Now, when the next solutions is found and eclipse wants to update the graph, it first checks that flag, and if that flag is set, it reopens the Edge and Attribute streams. This works like a charm and now the visualisation plots the entire search tree when I do a findall for example ! You can find the patch attached as daVinci_more.diff or at http://tias.ulyssis.org/patch/eclipse-clp/daVinci_more.diff > I seem to remember that a few years ago, daVinci went commercial, and so > we have not really spent too much effort on maintaining/improving > lib(daVinci).

Cool, I've added a few lines of code that can now natively run uDraw(graph). With this patch, you just download uDraw(graph) and follow their installation instructions. After that, eclipse-clp will automatically find it and use it like it did with daVinci. You can find the patch attached as daVinci_udraw.diff or again at http://tias.ulyssis.org/patch/eclipse-clp/ This is a really powerfull visualisation tool, I like it a lot. I'm not sure what the double borders and cursive values try to tell, they don't seem to add information ? What would be really cool is if the graph would be updated incrementally (flush a new node and its edges immediately to uDraw when it is created). That way, it could be used together with the 'Visualisation Client'. You could watch the variables get assigned and propagated in the Visualisation Client, and at the same time you could see the search tree being traversed in uDraw !
