Requests affecting Wgraph

Requests that affect aiSee

Fix the bugs mentioned in Wgraph:Known Bugs

  • As far as I see there are some inconsistencies within aiSee, which should be repaired.

More flexible definition of regions

  • A 'backrange' property and a 'backclass' property would be nice. They would allow to traverse edges in reverse order. It should be possible to specify these properties in addition to 'class' and 'range'.
  • Similarly it should be possible to specify only target nodes and classes and/or backclasses; aiSee would have to look for the source nodes which lead to the specified target nodes.

The Author's to do list

  • Wgraph could save its result as a normal wiki image in the hashed directory tree. Is this really desirable?
  • Can we avoid to update the image if the wgraph statement does not change between two edits?
  • Currently thumb, png and svg are always produced. We could save resources because not all variants are always needed.
  • make example 3 prettier
  • improve and document commandline interface of #wgraph
  • cross-check with aiSee reference manual, refer to commands/properties described there
  • reproduce subgraph exsample no.8 of aiSee manual
  • check 'level', 'layer', 'vertical_order' and document the behaviour
  • can UML sequence state charts easily be drawn? Are levels helpful?
  • document inputbox extension
  • link Examples among each other
  • improve Wgraph manual
  • use generic nodetype '*' for attributes which are assigned to all nodes
  • use generic edgetype '*' for attributes which are assigned to all edges
  • make another example where namespaces (category, template, main) are mapped to nodetypes
