Well, there is Dia, and some other gui tools around, but they aren't as sophisticated as Visio/SmartDraw, et. al. But have you actually used it. I am not sure what the context of your 6 boxes is, but a 6 box graph for me is only about 10 lines of markup. Now, I happen to have a graph with 6 subgraphs, with 6 boxes in each them, each with a their own hyperlink, and cross node lines, each subgraph also has a hyperlink as well. That's about 50 lines of markup. Most of which was cut and paste. It took me about the same time it would of taken to actually "draw" the graphs in visio, which of course doesn't have the links etc. Then I can just right click- >save image as, and paste into my document that also uses this image. As a bonus, I can actually source control the graph markup, and use the IncludeMacro to put it on a page. Then I can actually inspect the diff between 2 versions, rather than rely on a pure visual inspection. Anyway, my point is that you may want to consider going the other direction. Rather than draw the graph and port to wiki, write the graph, and export to image. It takes a little bit of time to learn to "visualize" the markup however, and it will never be as pretty as the drawing programs, but it can be close, and look "good". For example, the output of programs like DoxyGen use DiaGraphs. Would be nice if one of these tools like OpenOffice draw could export to dia format. or if there was a conversion path of some sort. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
