Hi all,
I finalized the implementation of a ditaa and aafigure filter and they
are ready to be published.
The challenging question is where to upload and host them so they can
be easily found and maintained. Unfortunately Google discontinued the
feature of uploading files to Google Groups.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
You could host it as as a project on Google Code/Github/Sourceforge etc. That
way you also get the source hosted in a public repository.
Cheers, Stuart

Hi all,
Inspired by discussions in this thread I trialled both ditaa and
aafigure.
Graphics with ditaa look nice and modern, it supports colour and drop-
shadows as well as different shapes. Biggest drawback is the missing
vector graphic output like SVGs. There is an EPS add-on but FOP
unfortunately does not support EPS for PDF output. So we are stuck
with PNG only which is less ideal for PDF output.
Aafigurehowever supports SVG output so I wrote a filter for AsciiDoc
but got stuck withaafigure'sinability to load fonts in a robust an
OS independent way and also the type of SVG it creates. There is a
work around for the font issue but the SVGs it generates are kind of
unusable by FOP as they do not contain width and height information.
Without such information the viewport cannot be calculated
automatically and the user has to provide viewport height and width as
well as content height and width, and this is kind of guesswork and
images will appear clipped or distorted.
If one is happy with PNG output both solutions can be used and I
should publish these filters shortly.
This would be very nice, if you do so!

Re: ditaa and ascii art -> graphics. I installed and tried ditaa.
Ditaa is
written in java, and has almost no documentation. Its help line is
pretty
much all you get. A quick search for something in Python that might
be more
asciidoc friendly turned this up:
http://packages.python.org/aafigure/manual.html
The author has provided several plug-ins. Perhaps he can be coaxed
into
providing asciidoc support?
aafigurelooks also very promising to create usefull diagrams.
Since I'm very new to asciidoc, I don't know exactly how to integrate
that into asciidoc. But I think aafilter or ditaa can be integrated
using the same approch as the graphiz-filter.
