Moin,

didn't post for a long time, but some of you may remember my <graph> extension, generating HTML and ASCII output. Over the time the software has evolved quite a bit and I am now proud to announce a new release.

(Graph::Easy 0.30 and wikimedia-graph 0.12 are the latest now)

It can now generate HTML, ASCII, SVG and graphviz code. The latter allows .png, .ps etc output via external programs like dot.

You can now also specify the output format in the graph code itself, so forcing a particular graph to render as ASCII/HTML etc from the wiki page itself.

The software is much faster, more stable, needs less prerequisites and less memory. It also has now many of the planned features implemented, and a few more. The syntax also has now settled down and the attribute set is strictly enforced (catching these dang typos :-D

There is a comprehensive online manual (with examples etc) and a website about the project online at my server. I als created a little demo page where you can play live with it:

http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/ Manual http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/ Project Site http://bloodgate.com/graph-demo/ Live demo

The live demo shows it without MediaWiki integration, since I do not have a wiki on my server yet. (It also does not render PNG since dot/graphviz is not installed - if somebody knows how to compile graphviz on FreeBSD 4.8 please contact me off-list).

Hope you enjoy it.

Please write me critics/praise/feedback/feature-wishes etc. I do have some limited email writing/reading capabilities over the next two weeks, but rest assured I will read all your responses and answer them :)

Best wishes,

Tels
