Hello Pete,
I'm using Graphviz on my PC (http://www.graphviz.org/) to do this.
- I built a quick-and-dirty EXEC wich reads a pipeline and create a
"dot" file ("dot" is the Graphviz format).
- Then, I send the dot file to my PC with FileZilla
- Then I create a png image of the pipeline using the "dot" command of
Graphviz (dot -Tpng inputFile.dot -o outputFile.png)
For example, with a pipeline like this one :
"pipe (endchar %)",
" < FNFILE FTFILE",
"| P: pick 1.1 == /$/",
"| count lines",
"| var nbLinesFile",
"%",
" P:",
"| count lines",
"| var nbGoodLines"
... the graphviz file on the PC is the following one :
digraph g {
STAGE_1_1 [label = "< FNFILE FTFILE"];
STAGE_P [label = "P: pick 1.1 == /$/"];
STAGE_1_2 [label = "count lines"];
STAGE_1_1 -> STAGE_P [color=red];
STAGE_1_3 [label = "var nbLinesFile"];
STAGE_P -> STAGE_1_2 [color=red];
STAGE_1_2 -> STAGE_1_3 [color=red];
STAGE_P;
STAGE_2_1 [label = "count lines"];
STAGE_2_2 [label = "var nbGoodLines"];
STAGE_P -> STAGE_2_1 [color=blue];
STAGE_2_1 -> STAGE_2_2 [color=blue];
}
You can install Graphviz and run the dot command on my file to see the
result for yourself.
If you can't built a "pipe to dot" program easily, then :
- you can email me some of your pipelines so I can create the
corresponding png file
- or I can send you my program, but I've got to modify it first, at
least to make it less French (variables, commentaries, pipe separator)
;-) (but the program would still be ugly ^^)

Objet : Looking for a Pipe drawing/diagramming tool... ISTHERE one out
there?
Am looking for a tool that will draw written pipes. Anyone aware of one?
In looking at some Pipes code I've inherited, I'd like to 'get the big
picture'.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
