[instaviz-users] Visio

Hi All

Any Visio users out there?

I'm thinking of writing a Visio exporter, which due to the nature of  
the beast would probably end up in the AT&T Graphviz sources. It's a  
non-trivial exercise so I'd really like to see how much demand there  
is for this:

1.	Visio doesn't have pure Bezier curves apparently, you can use NURBS  
(NUBS?) to approximate them. Beziers feature prominently in the  
Graphviz renditions (and hence the Instaviz renditions).
2.	There's a free Visio viewer but obviously the app itself comes at a  
cost.
3.	The schema is documented but samples and tutorials seem hard to  
come by, almost necessitating working with the Visio application itself.

If you do use Visio would you be willing to work closely with me on a  
Visio exporter?




Cheers, Glen Low
