Hmmm... might be interesting to try and use dot/neato/etc. to do the layout of a graph, and then use diagrams for the actual visualisation...
I agree! This has been on my list of things-to-do-with-diagrams-eventually for quite a while. It shouldn't even be very hard since your graphviz bindings can so nicely round-trip a graph description through dot/neato/etc. (right?)
Yup, it can. It also has support for more easily adding and pulling out "custom" attributes if you want to be able to tag them with more information (albeit only with Text values at the moment); for example, I use this for the round-trip'ing to be able to distinguish multiple edges from each other. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
