I have a requirement to create a picture of all the dependencies of my servers and their applications. I don't want to draw the picture/diagram nor do I wanto maintain that image. What I want (unless someone has a better idea) is to create a file of dependencies (A: B C D -> B/C/D all depend on A) and have a script generate a file (a dia file, an xfig file, something) that describes these dependencies and the have the program (dia/xfig) read the file, create the little boxes with their associated labels, run an auto-layout algorithm to spread out the little boxes, and then generate either a postscript, HPGL, dvi, jpg, png, etc., file that I can print and hand to my manager.
Anyone have any thoughts how to do this easily? Mike _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
