Absolute Text File

An absolute text file defines a graph by using absolute coordinates on a 2D grid. Any found coordinates are interpreted as nodes and linked together accordingly.

---

Rules:

• Coordinates are written in the format "Y,X" or "Row,Column" (eg. "1,2")
• Lines beginning with "start" will be read as the start coordinates field. Must use the format: "start: 1,1"
• Lines beginning with "end" will be read as the end coordinates.
• Lines beginning with numbers will be interpreted as an edge between coordinates. Nodes will be created dynamically. Must use the format: "1,2 - 3,4"
• Other lines will be ignored safely. This means you can include additional information such as "Grid Size: 5x5"

Example:

Start: 2,1
End: 10,11
