Oh my god, why does Microsoft design everything so much more complicated than necessary...

Let's hope this concept can stand the first and second real-world requirement...

btw: I know "Graphviz/dot", too. It's really simple and does only what one expects it to do: It calculates the layout of graphs (.dot/.svg/.ps/....) - of course: no ".NET objects" ;-).

documentation

hi, I need some documentation, the link above ("You can read more about GLEE HERE") does not work. Can anyone give me another link where I can find Glee's documentation? Thanks a lot

GLEE, renamed as Microsoft Automatic Graph Layout can be purchased now at Windows Markeplace : http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/details.aspx?view=info&itemid=6002737. The link could be wrong, if it points nowhere please look for "graph layout".

Rob;

Check this out for AWK: http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/parsetextObjectAWKWithAVengeance.aspx.

As for SED, the -replace operator does most of what you want.

It looks like most of the REBOL parse syntax boils down to a wordy type of regular expression, so those may be avenues for you too.

But does Dot leave you with a structure/tree .net objects that a wiley programmer can attach his own data structures to... and maniplulate on the fly?

What! You save the data to a flat txt file? ;->

Been using Glee with Powershell for a month or so now... arranges things nicely though the Microsoft Research guys could do with better documentation for their product... Would love to know how to draw graphs inside of graphs, for example...

Try playing round with the aspect ratio option, as this can affect the layouts...

Am still using REBOL "parse" to extract data from my code though....

Still waiting for the powershell equivalent of awk, sed, REBOL parse, or BNF parser... ;-)

Cheers,

Instead of illeagally using a "no commercial use" thing at work I will continue to use 'dot' from http://www.graphviz.org

It takes in a simple text file and does the same kind of graph.
