Hi Anne,

I've just added a Roassal plugin with the GraphViz-based layout.

Note that I had to hack it to work with RTMultiLine (it was originally designed for different lines which are currently not part of Roassal),

so it's possible there will be some issues.

You can load it (if you have latest Roassal installed) via the Roassal plugin menu,

or by executing the following

Metacello new

baseline: 'GraphVizLayout';

repository: 'github://peteruhnak/graphviz-layout:master/repository';

load

Then look at the class-side examples in RTGraphVizLayout.

Finally if you use this, you shouldn't move elements within the layout (because graphviz layout hard-codes the pathing)… we could probably change this in the future, but I am not sure how (ideally the layout would have to be recomputed, but that's expensive to do live),

So to summarize:

* you must have GraphViz installed in your system

* you must use RTMultiLine for lines (because only they support bending)

Let me know how it goes,

Peter

Oh, I missed this one :). So, now I can refactor the code that is still using the RTEdge class side methods :).

Great!

Thanks,
Doru
