GLPK/Scalable Vector Graphics
< GLPK
Scalable vector graphics (SVG) is an XML file format to describe two dimensional graphics. SVG 1.1 is the most recent version of the specification.
With a little effort, the MathProg printf statement can be used to generate SVG code.
Examples
editTraveling salesman problem
edit
The task in the traveling salesman problem is to find the shortest cyclic path through a given set of cities, visiting each city exactly once, and then returning to the start.
The model below shows how to output the solution as a scalable vector graphic.

end;
Run the model (40 seconds on a Intel Core i5 processor):
$ glpsol --math traveling.mod
This is what the created output file out.svg looks like (some lines removed):
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <circle cx="14.843435" cy="64.155902" r="5" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="red"/> <circle cx="276.895963" cy="4.798338" r="5" stroke="black" stroke-width="2" fill="red"/> ... <line x1="103.248022" y1="381.131207" x2="127.779724" y2="409.131953" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:2"/> <line x1="103.248022" y1="381.131207" x2="96.365578" y2="282.627837" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:2"/> </svg>
The resulting file can be viewed in an up-to-date web browser (like Firefox 3.6 or Internet Explorer 9) or viewed and modified using a (multi-platform) SVG editor (like Inkscape).
Clustering

The example below concerns a clustering problem. Out of 500 towns select 20 to be cluster centers and assign the other towns to the cluster such that the sum of the population weighted euclidian distances between towns and centers is minimized.
