Hello Peter & Vincent, thanks for your input. Unfortunalty, there are many interdependancies between java software, which means the result is a cyclic graph. So i'll have to use an external library as an xalan-j xsl extension. Currently, i'm hesitating between http://openjgraph.sourceforge.net http://arakhne.multimania.com http://touchgraph.sourceforge.net If anybody already used one of them, i would be happy to have some feedback. As the final target is a web page, i'll target png as a final result. Maybe using svg as an intermediate could be helpful, depending on library internal capacities. -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
