May I add that I have made some improvements to Vic's package that allow 1) other layout engines, and 2) text flowing right or left: http://www.Bytesmiths.com/InfoArk/Graphviz.php.gz
with examples at: http://www.IslandSeeds.org/wiki/Test:Graphviz (Scroll to the bottom to see examples of my hacks.) http://www.IslandSeeds.org/wiki/Components http://www.IslandSeeds.org/wiki/Biofuel
I heartily agree that Graphviz is every bit as wonderful as EasyTimeline, which *is* included in the distribution. Graphviz in the FIRST extension I install on any new wiki I set up!

I recently came across Vic's extension package [1] which allows visualisation by using the graphviz/dot package.
Would like to ask, whether this can be enabled on all wikis. I can only support this. Tom
