Flow Chart Toolkits?
-
Does anyone here know of any good flow chart drawing toolkits? Specifically, we need to be able to draw and print small (one or two page) flow charts, with dynamic text (spec'd at runtime, not design time) in each box. We need arrows and shadows. -c

you can get the visio developer libraries i think its on the msdn opening page as i recall otherwise i dont know of any but it wouldnt be too hard to make a small class library to draw smart shapes ... almost like a college hierarchy in fact ... shape -> box / circle / diamond ... etc would be quite fun to do if i had the time ho hum "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots"

Check out the Dundas "Ultimate Diagram" product. I have never used it, (own it, just not used it yet). For $899 you get the source so you can do whatever you want. You can probably still get one of the gold-rush kits for $599.00 with numerous other features. www.dundas.com

One idea is to use SVG viewer by Adobe which is an ActiveX control. (I believe it's free even for using it inside application) You can generate XML with the data you want to view, translate them into SVG with one of several XSL using MSXML and send the result to the SVG viewer. The above senario needs you to know (or learn) XML,XSL,SVG and of course ActiveX. A little complicated, but :cool: Memory leaks is the price we pay

Hi, I've been looking for a good tree layout library to display class hierarchies. There are a few around, but they are quite expensive. The following may be of some help: JTDraw - An Example of Drawing - Jian Zhu & Tao Zhu (2000/02/02) http://codeguru.earthweb.com/gdi/jtdraw.shtml Very impressive Tree drawing tool - written in Delphi unfortunately. Any volunteers to port this to C++?? http://www.teemach.com/products/teetree/teetree index.htm GO++ for MFC. Looks good, but reasonably expensive and from memory no source. http://www.nwoods.com/go/index.htm A general purpose Flowcharting/Diagramming ActiveX control... No source, $US399 http://www.lassalle.com/ Cross platform. Very confusing Web site. Interesting product. http://www.genlogic.com/ HeadStart Software - Canvasing Library. Looks ok, reasonable price, includes source. Not sure if still being actively developed and haven't asked - yet. http://www.hstart.com/home.htm Tom Sawyer Software, Graph Layout Toolkit Product Family. Impressive, very expensive + royalities. http://www.tomsawyer.com/ There are quite a few flow charting apps around. With graph layout the tricky bit is automating the actual layout of course. If anyone else knows of any C++ graph layout libraries (preferably with source) I'd be most interested to hear about them. I'm currently writing a replacment for the MS Tree Control which is useless with > 100K items and this is going well. The layout is fairly simple compared to a full hierarchy tree.

GO++ is pretty nice and you can use the (debug mode) evaluation as long as you want. The Dundas product is overly complicated and not well documented.

Have you heard about JHotDraw ? It's a drawing framework written in Java. It's free and you can read an article about it at : http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2001/jw-0216-jhotdraw.html Maybe it's possible to convert this to C++ ???
