Hi All

I've successfully enabled any Graphviz graphs to be imported and  
displayed in my Instaviz iPhone app.

If you would like to support producing Instaviz graphs for your  
websites or iPhone-based apps, here are some of the details:

http://trac.pixelglow.com/instaviz/ticket/80

The 10-second summary is this:

1.	Base64-encode the graph. (Instaviz graphs are mostly  
interchangeable with Graphviz graphs; Instaviz can render most all  
Graphviz graphs but not properly edit everything Graphviz produces.)
2.	Prepend "instaviz:data:;base64," to the result.
3.	Use that as a URL e.g. in a website as a <a href="..."> link, or in  
an iPhone app using -[UIApplication openURL:].

Easy, no?

I haven't released Instaviz 1.3 yet but will do so in a week or so.

Meanwhile if you're interested in supporting Instaviz output, here's  
some co-marketing opportunities:

A.	I can mention your website/project/product in the press release for  
1.3. (Sent out through PrMac, easily boosts instaviz.com page count by  
5,000.)
B.	I can link to your website/project/product from the instaviz.com  
pages.
C.	I can reference your website/project/product from the App Store  
description page.

Just send me (glen dot low at pixelglow dot com) a link to your  
website or product etc. that produces Instaviz output, and perhaps  
some comment about why you find Instaviz useful, and I'll see what I  
can do! To make the press release it will have to be within 4 days'  
time.

If you send me an iPhone UDID I can also make available a demo copy of  
Instaviz for you to test your website/product against.







Cheers, Glen Low
