OK, now I have. Yes, it is like constraint programming - instead of specifying the solution, you specify the problem - and then the CP module will transform that problem into a search space of possible representations, and then search will take place to find a representation that fulfills the constraints. Or, it could be like an editor (WYSIWYG, as I mentioned) which is a bit more down to earth, and more interactive. I like CP but it is only suitable for a small set of problems, like Sudoku, schedules, and the like, that are easy to define, and, as for the solutions, brute force search is more efficient (especially with the super-speed computers of today), than manually being "intelligent" (algorithmic) about it. WYSIWYG I don't like because they place a layer between you and the end result. Then you will not only have the limitation that is you (as an imperfect human being) but also the limitations of the tool (technology + the people who did it + ...) - so I see only you loosing on this equation. What you see is what you get = what you see is ALL you get (if you are lucky). -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent. CV, projects, etc at uXu underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
