I resurrected the GraphViz Sitemap Generator I created 5 years ago. The generator takes a file with tab separated values as input -- 1 line for each node of a sitemap or flow chart -- and outputs hierarchical or radial graphs as GIF and SVG.
The generator was on a long hiatus because I didn't want to keep maintaining it, but I dusted it off to do a quick graph. You can expect it to stay up indefinitely, but I don't predict it will get that much use since we have such good desktop tools for doing this kind of thing. It is nice for running large text files through it, however, which is why I use it occasionally.
I created the Graphviz SiteMap Generator to demonstrate how the AT&T/Lucent Bell Labs Graphviz application can be used to generate diagrams such as sitemaps and automate some of the kinds of documents produced during web design. While this tool was created as a proof of concept to illustrate how one kind of diagram can be generated, other diagrams such as network graphs, flow charts, and the like can be generated from tabular data.
Try out the graphviz sitemap generator here.
To install,
- Download the GraphViz PHP script source code here (index.php).
- Download the code sanitizing script here (sanitize.php).
- You'll need to modify paths in your script. Follow the notes in script comments.
