Good call Ryan, Never thought imagemagick. That probably includes most of the dependencies that GraphViz would need.
Also pruning down the supported formats to those 3 would probably prune down the additional libraries needed much further. Also, thanks Tobes for asking the question. I had wondered a few times but never came out and asked. Even if this ends up with a no, it is better for us to ask than wonder. --K On Apr 17, 2009, at 7:17 PM, Ryan Tomayko wrote: > > On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Yuri Niyazov > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Well, the whole thing already sounds like a no-go because heroku >> doesn't >> allow writing to the fs > > Yeah, but I believe you can pipe in and out of graphviz.
