Hi Mike,
Take a look at pydot <http://dkbza.org/pydot.html>. I think John Hunter 
may have used this in the matplotlib manual.
There's an ER diagram in the Graphviz (which pydot wraps) examples:

Enjoy the conference. I'm too cheap to attend :-(

Hi,

I' ve just started with matplotlib for the first time. After installation I
get the following error:

>>>from pylab import *

...

/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py
      4 def fn_name(): return sys._getframe(1).f_code.co_name
      5
----> 6 import gobject
      7 import gtk; gdk = gtk.gdk
      8 import pango

ImportError: No module named gobject


If someone has seen this befor, please tell me how to solve the problem...

cheers

Jens

Hi all

Just dropped in to your list after drawing a blank in your archives. I 
am attending an Open Source Developers Conference in Melbourne as we 
speak and got a referral to you from an admirer.

I'm looking for a Python (I'm new to python and graphics sw) module to 
visualise subsets of a database of related entities by printing boxes 
joined by lines.

The entities are linked with named n:m relationships and I'd like to 
select one and display it in a box (with the entity name) and all 
related entities likewise in boxes linked to each other by lines 
representing the relationships tagged with the names of those 
relationships.

I'm thinking I need some clever stuff to ensure as few lines as possible 
cross and mess up the visualisation.

At first glance I would say we have a mismatch and your very impressive 
software is probably overkill for what I want. If I'm on the wrong tram 
with matplotlib I'd appreciate a redirect. Otherwise, if anyone is 
prepared to say matplotlib is the way to go I'll download it and start 
playing.

Thanks heaps

mike
