We ended up buying add in express and have been able to sort our problems

A coleague has pointed out that the bug I am suggesting in SizeShape makes size to fit put all text into square boxes rather than probably being the problem with the original load.

To clarify, I would expect shape.CellsU(“Height”).FormulaForceU = Convert.ToString(width, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) to refer to height not width

I don’t know if I am doing something wrong, but all of my boxes are having their width set from the text (or maybe graphviz) but it appears their height is taken from a fixed aspect ratio, unlike the height I see in graphviz. (So long labels get tall boxes, labels with lots of short lines get boxes that are too short)
[And size to fit seems to do the same]

I think it may be a bug and because

Private Sub SizeShape(ByVal shape As Shape, ByVal width As Double, ByVal height As Double)
Dim oldwidth As Double = shape.CellsU(“Width”).ResultIU
Dim oldheight As Double = shape.CellsU(“Height”).ResultIU
Dim oldvalue As Double
Dim cellname As String

shape.CellsU(“Width”).FormulaForceU = Convert.ToString(width, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
shape.CellsU(“Height”).FormulaForceU = Convert.ToString(width, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
repeats width

Thanks a lot for that impressing Visio Add-In! Just starting to get into GraphViz.
I’ve noticed two things: If I had not installed GraphViz the GraphVizio introduction is messy (of course). Some of the help-samples are missing e.g. for “Keep shapes togehter in groups” is missing \AppData\Roaming\GraphVisio\threecountries.vsd.

best regards

I’m afraid not, sorry, it would require quite a lot of work to provide this kind of automation.

Is it possible to automatically open a .gv file (I would like to display a dot file in visio using something like double click or COM automation)

(I like graphvizio but am wondering if I can save the user a manual step)

I’m afraid Graphvizio can’t handle HTML labels or Graphviz records, neither have an easy correspondence in Visio.

Sorry about that.

At the end of the install, Visio starts and a live WYSIWYG tutorial shows you how the program works. A series of tutorials covering the major features is available under Graph -> Help -> How Do I? The complete source code is available on SourceForge

Maurice,

Hello and thanks for createing Graphvizio. I hope to give it a test drive some time. Where is the best place to find documentation? Also, has the project moved to sourceforge?

Thanks,
Dan
