C.S. Nirmal J. Fernando commented on TUSCANY-3496: -------------------------------------------------- Hi All, I am currently facing few problems with GraphViz. 1) We can't place shapes as they overlap each other (we need this cause services overlap on components etc.). We can load a single image, but then it is not possible to connect a service to a particular reference correctly (i.e. wires will land all over, instead of connecting the correct points). 2) We can't create a shape we have for a service/reference directly, but there's a way by using a postscript file. But this will be out of the question if we can't find a solution for 1). According to my observation graphViz can't provide a solution for 1) hence we might give up GraphViz :(. So, other possibility is to use Apache batiks for diagram creation and implement a suitable algorithm to manage layout. Any thoughts are highly appreciated!
