Chapter 22 // Exercise 16 - Principles & Practice Using C++

In this exercise I am using Visual Studio 2019 and a modified version of the std_lib_facilities header found here.

Chapter 22 // Exercise 16

Modify the program from the previous exercise so that it reads a file (name,year(ancestors)) tuples, such as (Fortran,1956()), (Algol,1960,(Fortran)), and (C++,1985,(C,Simula)), and graphs them on a timeline with arrows from ancestors to descendants. Use this program to draw improved versions of the diagrams in section 22.2.2 and section 22.2.7.

Out of all the exercises and drills we've done so far; this is the one I hate the most. It's stuff like this that makes me detest graphics programming and so for the second time in 6 years of trying to finish this book I'm skipping an exercise.

I did go back and finish the other one though so eventually I'll finish this one too. I will say, I went back and tried to use my scattergraph class and what a mess. I don't know how it worked in the first place.

To be continued...
