I'm doing some slight modification to the Graphviz Sitemap Generator directories. I was considering only providing the source code for the application on the server and discontinuing the sitemap generator's use. The output directory is close to 150MB right now, with 2 years of people's site maps. Some of the larger site maps are weighing in around 2MB in size. I run this site on a shared host and my storage space is limited, so every bit of space is needed.
Instead of pulling the application, from now on I'm going to expunge the output directories every day around midnight, Eastern Time. So if you are a user of the sitemap generator, you will need to save all of your output locally, because it will not be there the next day.
I think this compromise should work OK. I only put that script up so that people could see that GraphViz might be a viable package to use for automated site map generation so they could then install on their own servers. Looks like quite a few people have been using it regularly to generate all kinds of diagrams.
Update Lovely! Look at how much disk space I've saved with this new daily cleanup.

hiya -
it looks like you blew away the images from your demo page, along with all of the squatter grfx.

One of my sitemaps was probably there from long ago. It is interesting to watch your various projects.
If you have a moment, would you have a look at a drupal feature request, thoughts of a visual map drupal module? I'm not sure the request should be limited to the wiki module (a visual wiki). Thank you in advance.

No, they're still there. Reload.

Just added a comment. Someone did create a graphviz sitemap module long ago that used taxonomy. No idea what happened to that.

I've been trying to implement graphviz on a shared server. I'm using 1and1 and can't figure out how to install it though the command line. It says I need to be a superuser to use dpkg, but is there another way to run the dot file?

Sorry, but if your server host doesn't give you permission to run the installer packages, you're probably out of luck.
