[Doxygen-users] Which version of gviz, and why?

[Neil S. <ns...@ci...>]

Hello,

Which version of gviz/dot should I be using with doxygen?

I feel that this question must get asked a lot, but I can't find any =
record of it, and have had a good look round for the answer. The mailing =
list archive search seems to be broken just now (a problem with =
''/bigassraid/htdig//conf/11668.conf", which sounds painful).

The doxygen page says use 1.5, but using it on a fairly sizeable project =
here, I get a broken image on the graphical class hierarchy (I'm =
assuming this is due to a bug in dot, and not doxygen).

The binary download for gviz 1.5 for Solaris has disappeared from the =
gviz AT&T site, though there is a binary download for 1.7c. I remember =
it being difficult to build 1.5 last time, so I grabbed the binary =
distro. Luckily I still have it.

Nor could I find the Solaris 1.5 binary download on www.gviz.org.

Gviz seems to have moved into the 1.7's. Is there a problem using these =
with doxygen. Has anyone tried it? Is there any reason I shouldn't be =
using the latest stable version of gviz? Is this likely to change as =
gviz moves on?

Sorry if this has been asked before. Should it be a FAQ? It would be =
useful to know why an older version (for which it's becoming tricky to =
get binaries) should be used.

In closing, thanks very much to Dimitri and the doxygen contributors for =
such a great tool! Great stuff.

Thanks in advance,

Neil.

I currently use 1.7.8 myself (on Linux). The docs still 
suggest version 1.5 but that's more because that part hasn't been
updated :-) Any version after 1.5 will probably work, but I have not much
control over the development on graphviz, so I cannot guarantee this.

Regards,
  Dimitri

Well I decided to try this damn fool crazy idea out :)

Using gviz 1.7c I got diagrams which look much the sames as those produced
by 1.5, except that in many cases the text within the boxes is not
completely contained by the boxes. This doesn't happen with gviz 1.5.  I'm
running on Solaris 2.6 (Sparc) using the standard X server. I assume the
problems are due to font issues; I guess this is an issue for the gviz guys.

Thanks again,

Neil.
