1: Using ACS to display graphics
Posted by Matthew Taylor on 08/17/04 01:38 PM
Hello,
I am looking to develop a dotLRN package that can take information from a database and display a graphical representation of how certain objects relate to each other. I also wish for each object to contain a hyperlink so that a click can invoke another query. I have been told that the old acs-workflow package was able to do this via graphviz however I am having trouble finding a version that works with ACS 5.x. Does anyone know of any other packages that use graphviz or any other methods used to display a similar image? Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance,
Matt

You don't want workflow or even the old workflow. You just want a graph of the database schema, right? There are tools to do that. I don't know much about them though.

Thats exactly right. I was told that acs-workflow was the best way to do it. Does anyone know of another way?
