Graphviz is open source graph visualization software.
Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic graph drawing has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains.
The question is: Is Graphviz available on Dreamhost servers...?? --Helge 13:22, 13 Jun 2006 (PDT)
I don't think so, but I'd love to have it as well, preferably with the GraphViz extension to MediaWiki enabled as well. -- JFinnis 05:34, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT)
I just successfully installed graphviz (in order to use the MediaWiki extension).
$ wget http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.22.2.tar.gz $ tar xvzf graphviz-2.22.2.tar.gz $ cd graphviz-2.22.2 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --disable-perl --disable-ruby $ make $ make install $ make clean
- If you get errors about 'lperl not found' and 'lruby not found', make sure you have the disable switches. The MediaWiki extension doesn't seem to need them.
- For the MW extension [1], after including in LocalSettings.php, i had to manually create the {wikipath}/images/graphviz directory for it to work.
