A wiki interface to one of the world best '''graph layout tools''' ([http:absint.com/aisee aisee]). You can define a graph in textual notation and the image will be generated dynamically. Apart from manually specifying a graph you can use a DPL script to generate the graph description. Thus you can automatically generate a graphical overview of relations or arbitrary information in your wiki. | A wiki interface to one of the world best '''graph layout tools''' ([http:absint.com/aisee aisee]).

DPL 1.8.9 has been released with a bundle of new features.
For German speaking visitors we have a special offer: Auf [1] läuft eine lokale Kopie der deutschen Wikipedia. Wir demonstrieren dort den Einsatz von DPL und zeigen auch den Vorlagen-Editor.

- There is a place where you can report bugs and request new features.
- All extensions are under GPL license. Test them here live! There is extensive documentation, see the manuals. You can download the sources.
- The main extensions provided are DynamicPageList, Wgraph and Ploticus.
- There are also some minor extensions (e.g. Call) and improved versions of existing extensions (Inputbox, StripMarkup) which may be useful.
- You can find plenty of examples, which can serve as a starting point for your own ideas. Some of them are usable applications (like the calendar) others have the character of a framework.
- Please note that most of our applications use more than one extension (DPL always being one of them). If you do not want to run into trouble we strongly recommend that you take the versions from this website for: DynamicPageList, Wgraph, Ploticus, Call, StripMarkup, Inputbox, StringFunctions and Variables.
- If you use one of my extensions, please add a reference to your wiki to the site list!
This site runs MediaWiki 1.13 with page caching enabled. We are redesigning the homepage. You may want to switch to the Old Homepage.
