Libraries and tools

TreeGraph 2 is based on other free software. This page lists the libraries included in the TreeGraph 2 application as well as additional tools that are or have been used in its development or with its homepage. It might provide other developers useful ideas on which tools to use in their own project but is especially meant to thank the authors (and sometimes companies) of the free software projects who have made the development of TreeGraph 2 possible.
