[Soaplab-users] question regarding images

[Sirisha G. <si...@my...>]

I have wrapped the dot graph layout tool successfully using Soaplab, 
using the ACD file provided. When I supply a dot file to the service, 
the output is displayed as something like this:

application/octet-stream
urn:lsid:net.sf.taverna:dataItem:1910c00b... etc

and the image can only be viewed by saving the result somewhere locally, 
and then opening it with a suitable program.

However it would be better if the resulting image could be viewed 
directly in the results pane, much like the Dilbert comic book example 
workflow which is provided with Taverna.

Any tips on achieving this would be great :)

Many thanks,

Sirisha

Hi Sirisha,

If you select the workflow output for the graph produced by your dot
service, in your Taverna Advanced Model Explorer and add the 'image/png'
MIME type using the 'Metadata for ...' -> 'MIME Types' tabs then Taverna
should be able to display the graph.

Mahmut
