Yes, *any kind of diagram to supervene on (map neatly onto) tiddler relations?* but of course this requires a design component to accompany each diagramming tool > I do understand that "the data contains all the information necessary to > be represented in different graphical ways" ... So my question is whether > the graphviz plugin (or any other currently available tool) can be readily > modified to do that work... > Yes, I am asking that same question *graphviz plugin (or any other currently available tool) can be readily modified to do that work, * and suggesting we try and make the answer yes. > > (I also don't quite follow why you place special emphasis on "icons" in > your reply? > I was perhaps a bit loose with my words here, perhaps iconography, rather than icons is better, Whilst simple lines can be used for relationships, we can have different graphical representations of relationships and whilst these differ according to the graphical system you are using, a basic one would be helpful to represent the tiddlers (objects) and relationships in raw tiddlywiki. Eg line, directional (one to many many to one), broken or loose etc... > Am I missing something about the spirit of your reply? > No you are fairly close, to the spirit of my reply. I think my key take home is we need to provide a middle layer, between tiddlywiki and the graph or imaging solutions we have. If we have a robust set of standards any graphical representation can be given a set of macros to interact with the tiddlers to that standard. Most of the standards are already implied we just need to document them. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
