Description-en: Qt interface to prerex, a course prerequisite chart editor
vprerex provides a Qt interface to prerex by integrating the prerex editor
with a PDF viewer. This allows conveying coordinates of course boxes, arrows
and background points back to prerex through the use of the clipboard.
.
prerex is an editor for creating esthetically pleasing course prerequisite
charts using the TikZ LaTeX package.
.
Course prerequisite charts allow students to easily determine which
prerequisites, corequisites and recommended prerequisites they need for a
given course and their time slots. Course prerequisite charts also highlight
the courses required by a degree.
.
prerex is used by departments in several universities, including Queen's
University and Suffolk University.
