graphviz filter in the web site
Mon, 10/19/2009 - 06:34 — tbates
Drupal has a graphiviz filter, with what seems like pretty straight-forward installation:
http://drupal.org/project/graphviz_filter
Would be great to have that installed here, and enabled as a filter in the wiki, forums, and docs: Very helpful if people can include diagrams in posts.

#1
bump...
I've installed graphviz on my desktop now, and it works nicely: I think this would be a really nice improvement on the web site.
#2
OK I followed all the directions on the graphviz_filter module site. I updated /opt/local/apache2/bin/envvars and tried to restart apache, but drupal still can't find dot in its path: http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/admin/reports/status. Once that problem is solved, this should work. I'm passing this on to somebody else.

Thanks Michael - glad to see this move along.
I can't see that status page, but hopefully this path problem can be solved... not sure what environment drupal's uses to get paths... perhaps needs path as ./ or in full
Anyhow: thanks for the work: appreciated!
#4
bump: this would make the forums much nicer, and, I think, help with debugging questions, as a diagram can show what Openmx thinks a person is asking for and vice versa
#5
We could now implement this using a javascript library, like https://github.com/mdaines/viz.js/
#6
An ignorant question from me: what would this allow users to do that they cannot currently do merely with inlined images attached to posts?
#7
just enter something like
< code>
A->B [label b]
and get a picture that another user can see, while preserving code they can replying too, copy, edit, and correct... Leaves the semantics intact, which pictures consume in their making.
