--------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I am currently facing few problems with GraphViz.
1) We can't place shapes as they overlap each other (we need this cause
services overlap on components etc.). We can load a single image, but then it
is not possible to connect a service to a particular reference correctly (i.e.
wires will land all over, instead of connecting the correct points).
2) We can't create a shape we have for a service/reference directly, but
there's a way by using a postscript file. But this will be out of the question
if we can't find a solution for 1).
According to my observation graphViz can't provide a solution for 1) hence we
might give up GraphViz :(.
So, other possibility is to use Apache batiks for diagram creation and
implement a suitable algorithm to manage layout.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated!
Thanks.

> I'm looking a simple tool (web based or command) that can generate the
> composite diagrams from a list of composite files. One technology we can try
> is the Apache Batik project.
> http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/
> This tool can serve multiple purposes:
> 1) Help document our tutorials and samples
> 2) Be integrated with the SCA domain manager to visualize the SCA domain
> (contributions, composites, nodes etc)
