[Phpwiki-talk] Visualization with GraphViz dot

[Walter R. <wa...@ra...>]

Hi,

I am working on a plugin for PhpWiki called Rhizome Navigation. It  
has similarities to VisualWiki but takes a different approach.
The visual map is not created through analysation of actual links,  
however, it is based on user tracking and log analysis. This way it  
is possible to influence the weight, length and size of edges and  
nodes to emphasize certain areas of content (hopefully).

Unfortunately my provider does not support dot. I saw that VisualWiki  
is not working on sf.net either.
Reini, you wrote on the VisualWiki-Page "At least I compiled now a  
static binary of dot."
What does that mean exactly? Is there a way to install dot on a web- 
server with ftp-access only?
Does anyone know if dot works on berlios.de?

If anyone's interested, Rhizome Navigation runs on my wiki at:
http://www.metaportaldermedienpolemik.net/wiki/RhNav
The SVG was created offline with the Mac OSX version of GraphViz.

RhNav creates dynamically this dot file from a wiki access log:
http://www.metaportaldermedienpolemik.net/rhnav-preforce/rhnav.dot.php
What I want is to output this dot file on the fly as a SVG. For now I  
have downloaded this file and created the SVG locally for the above  
example.

Please let me know if you had success running dot on your server or  
if there are any alternatives available.

Kind regards,
Walter
