Hallo,
I would like to integrate "Graphviz" extension in ZUM-Wiki (www.zum.de/wiki).
I've read some instructions about it, on the following sites: http://www.graphviz.org/ http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/Graphviz_extension telling: you must copy Graphviz.php to $mediawiki/extensions directory and add this line to LocalSettings.php: include("extensions/Graphviz.php"); Also you must set $wgGraphVizSettings->dotCommand = "/usr/local/bin/dot"; to accomplish your installation of graphviz. http://www.wickle.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Graphviz_Installation_Instructi ons telling: include("extensions/Graphviz.php"); $wgGraphVizSettings->dotCommand = "C:\Program Files\ATT\Graphviz\bin\dot.exe"; http://www.schwiki.de/wiki/SchWiki:Graphviz
I've found the Graphviz.php on: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mwextensions/mediawikiextensions/
I tried to install "Graphviz" extension, but didn't have success.
My three questions are:
1. Obviously, I need to install Graphviz, before I can install the Graphviz extension: Where and how do I have to install Graphviz?
2. Which text do I habe to include exactly in LocalSettings.php?
3. Which other things do I habe to do, to be able to use Graphviz extension in MediaWiki?
Regards Karl Kirst

I cannot help you with the Graphviz extension (at least not much), but I can help you installing the graph extension, which is, IMHO (but I am biased :) much better suited for a wiki:
http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/ http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/
If you need help with that, don't hesitate to email me :D
Best wishes,

thanks. But "Graph" seems not to offer the same graphical possibilities like "Graphviz" does.

Just for the record, it does. It offers even more :D
(And even if some output formats cannot support them, you can always output graphviz code and use dot to render the image, which means Graph::Easy should supports anything that graphviz can, plus some more things are made easier for the user)
I am writing a F.A.Q. entry now to clear this up once and for all.

Speaking of Graphviz, some might be interested in SpecialGraphs (http://opensource.case.edu/svn/MediaWikiHacks/extensions/ SpecialGraphs/SpecialGraphs.php). It has Graphviz output and can do such things as:
http://wiki.case.edu/CaseWiki:Categories http://wiki.case.edu/Category:People
There are a few minor quirks, but it shows the potential of Graphviz in wikis.

These are automatically created graphs, tho, and I wouldn't want to edit their generated grapviz text :)
But thanx for the pointer, I noticed that extension some time ago and wanted to try it, but never found the source for it (and somehow managed to forget to contact you :)
Best wishes,

Hello all,
I have updated the FAQ at:
http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/faq.html
with a small (well, not so small :) section about Graphviz vs. Graph::Easy. Undoubtely I did forgot something, so feel free to correct me. :) Now it is bedtime for me,
best wishes,
Tels
