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).
- Downloaded http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-2.8.tar.gz (looks like there is a new version, 2.10, of graphviz, released today: http://www.graphviz.org/Download_source.php, so you may as well try that, but for accuracy's sake..)
- did
$ tar xvzf graphviz-2.8.tar.gz $ cd graphviz-2.8 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-perl --disable-ruby $ make $ make install $ make clean
- I got errors about 'lperl not found' and 'lruby not found', so i added the disable switches. AFAICT, those libraries are there, so maybe someone can fix that, but anyhow, the MediaWiki extension didn'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.
Cheers! -- rlb 21:39, 27 Nov 2006 (PST)
