[instaviz-users] Opinions wanted: common attributes

[David Young]

Colour - YES
style - YES (if this includes shades and borders)
thickness - less important.

For quick and dirty graphs... maybe even:

Graph Title (if we are going to email them on to people on the road).
Extra Comments boxes / explanation fields (that don't have to be  
linked to any particular node / edge )
Time / Date / Author stamp on the bottom - for when we do export it /  
email it / move it around...
this would also help compile different versions / development of  
graphs over time.

so that for example if I'm on the road (which I now currently am)...
we brain storm a process - on Instaviz with a couple of people...
give it a title...
ad a couple of explanation notes...

email it back to the home office, or ourselves for further development.

Hi All

Thanks to Dylan and Daniel for submitting bug reports... Daniel in
particular spotted a unique combination of factors that led to the bug
and described it to a "T", exactly what I need for fixing the bug.

The 0.2 should be ready fairly soon, hopefully within a day or two.
You will be able to double-tap on an edge or node to edit its
settings, as suggested by Dylan.

Meanwhile, I need your opinion on this:

What are the most common graph/node/edge attributes you'd like to see?
Or for those of you not brought up on a diet of Graphviz, what you
most want to change/customize about a graph, node or edge, e.g. color,
thickness, style?

I'll probably have two levels of attributes: the common ones, and the
esoteric ones which can be reached from another detail view (either
from the common list, or perhaps via triple click). The limited screen
size doesn't lend itself to an exhaustive list of attributes for quick
usage... although the exhaustive list might be alphabetized for ease
of navigation.




Cheers, Glen Low
