About TSPSG
-----------

**TSP Solver and Generator** is intended to generate and solve
**Travelling Salesman Problem** (TSP) tasks. It uses *Branch and Bound*
method for solving. Its input is a number of cities and a matrix of
city-to-city travel costs. The matrix can be populated with random
values in a given range (which is useful for generating tasks). The
result is an optimal route, its price, step-by-step matrices of solving
and a solving graph. The task can be saved in an internal binary format
and opened later. The result can be printed or saved as *PDF*, *HTML*,
or *ODF*.

**TSPSG** may be useful for teachers to generate test tasks or just for
regular users to solve TSPs. Also, it may be used as an example of using
*Branch and Bound* method to solve a particular task.

You can check the [Installation Guide](INSTALL.md) or read the
[ChangeLog](ChangeLog.md) to see what's new (updated only on releases).
