What do y'all use to diagram applications in the planning stages? Hierarchical maps are a great start, but the lack of annotation in dot-files is a deal breaker. Why isn't this problem solved in open-source development tools a trillion times over? Are afterthought UML- importers the best we've got? Honestly, the reason I like dot is that you don't really need a graphical tool. The syntax is so basic and you can just pipe it to dot (as in the wiki page) to make a png. It does all the layout for you. And yet (like most things that aren't ruby) I find myself interested in creating a ruby DSL wrapper :) What kind of annotations would you want in a dot file? Just for my own curiosity. -Mat _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe or change your settings, visit: http://lists.phillyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
