AJAX diagram application

[lucavilla@cashette.com]

Are there other web-based AJAX diagram tools like this one?

(named Smoot)

I mean apps similar to Microsoft Visio but done in web/AJAX... and even
much simpler... (like the above)

Is there something wrong with this one?

Yes, it requires a couple a strange PHP libraries (Xajax and PEAR::DB)
that my hosting provider doesn't have installed... :(

By the way: I was reading "The XSLT Cookbook" from O'Reilly (publisher). In
that book, there is a recipe, to convert Microsoft Visio Output to SVG
using XSLT transformation.

Thanks for the note. I thought to it too but I wanted something that
can modify on-the-fly on the web. This is the reason I'ld prefer it
done in AJAX.

Have you tried installing these libraries yourself? Most shared
hosting services will let you install whatever you want under $HOME.

I asked to my hosting providers:
Hostgator.com told me that they can install it only on dedicated
server.
Webhost4life.co m told me that they could point to 3rd party DLLs for
$19. But I'm not expert, I don't know how to serve the DLL(?) for those
libraries.

It may well be possible for you to install them yourself. For most PHP
libraries, it's a simple matter of creating a directory called "includes"
in your web root; using ".htaccess" in that directory to make all the
files inaccessible to browsers; copying the required files into that
directory; and then adding that directory to your PHP includes path (which
can also be done using a ".htaccess" file).

If you need details, try comp.lang.php.

Re: AJAX diagram application

Thanks Toby for your suggestion. I'll evaluate whether it is possible.

That must be then a recipe from the witch kitchen :-) Microsoft Visio
outputs nothing but a small VML envelope to embed the on-fly generated
..emz graphics (which is in turn a fancy zipped EMF file). If it is
indeed possible to parse it using XPath then the things are being
changed to an interesting direction. I gonna look for more info.

Look for

13.1 Converting Visio VDX Documents to SVG

You will find the sources for that recipe in the examples zip file

XSLTCkBkCode/vertical/Visio

Hah! VDX, not EMZ as it was in Visio 2000 - what was the last version I
played with and then dropped as useless. So things are indeed changed
to better in this aspect on the current Office.
