I'm working with Graph::Easy[1] to define a series of flowcharts. I'd like to stick with Graph::Easy because it is, um, easy. It is easy to organize data and define styles, mostly, and easy to keep my data structured neatly.
Graph::Easy's layouter, however, has enough limitations that I do really need to move the output into a gui tool to organize the layouts for printing. I can output either graphML or SVG (as well as a few other less useful formats like ASCII and HTML), but I can't seem to figure out whether or how to import this output into dia. I can pull the SVG output into Inkscape[2] and ungroup the collection of shapes and arrows that make up the charts, but Inkscape doesn't (unless I'm missing something?) understand nodes and lines in a particularly helpful way. I can place the SVG output in Dia, but only as a single image, not as a collection of many images, and Dia doesn't seem to recognize the SVG data as a group that could be ungrouped. Has anyone worked with GraphML output in Dia? Is there something I could be doing to help Dia read SVG files better? thanks, Amanda [1] http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/ [2] http://www.inkscape.org/ -- ____________________________________ Amanda B Hickman Technical Director, Gotham Gazette http://www.gothamgazette.com tel 212 227 0342 ext 23 fax 212 227 0345 _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
