Source and Download

You can check out GraphvizPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source​ with Trac.

Or you can download the zipped source from here​. Note that this contains everything regarding the Graphviz plugin including tagged releases and branches. The 0.10 directory contains the latest released version of the code for Trac 0.10 and the 0.11 directory contains the latest code for Trac 0.11.

• download latest stable version (0.7.5) for Trac 0.11.
• download latest version for Trac 0.10.

That version has some trouble with rsvg support for creating anti-aliased images. The upcoming version contains a few related fixes:

• download latest unstable version for Trac 0.11 and later.
• download latest unstable version for Trac 1.0

If you want to have anti-aliased images, it might be a better option anyway to get/build a recent version of graphviz tools, which support producing anti-aliased images directly, through pangocairo support.

Installation

1. A prerequisite for installation are the programs from ​http://www.graphviz.org.
2. Install
   • By hand:
     1. See source:graphvizplugin/branches/1.0/README.txt​ for details on installing the plugin for Trac 1.0 and up
     2. See source:graphvizplugin/tags/0.11-0.7.5/README.txt​ for details on installing the plugin on Trac 0.11 and Trac 0.12.
     3. See source:graphvizplugin/tags/0.10/README.txt​ for details on installing the plugin on Trac 0.10.
   • Using easy_install (for Trac 1.0 and 1.1):

     [sudo] easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/graphvizplugin/trunk
     

   • Using easy_install (for Trac 0.11 and 0.12):

     [sudo] easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/graphvizplugin/tags/0.11-0.7.5
     

     • Note: sudo is optional case you already have enough authorisation to modify your server.
3. Restart your web server (this example command line for Apache on Ubuntu):

   [sudo] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
   

4. Enable the plugin:
   • by updating your trac.ini with this:

     [components]
     ...
     graphviz.* = enabled
     ...
     

   • or accessing your Admin panel ( ..admin/general/plugins ).
5. Configure your environment:
   • by modifying your trac.ini file.
   • by accessing your Admin panel case you have WebAdminPlugin enabled.

Example

Add the following lines to a wiki page:

{{{
#!graphviz
digraph G {Hello->World->Graphviz->Rules}
}}}

and that would produce an image as follows:

Note that you can insert TracLinks like this:

{{{
#!graphviz
  digraph G {
    rankdir = "LR"
    GraphvizPlugin [ URL=GraphvizPlugin ]
    Trac [ 
      URL="http://trac.edgewall.org/"   
      fontcolor=red
    ]
    GraphvizPlugin -> Trac
    }
}}}

This produces an image like this, but with clickable nodes (note that nodes aren't actually clickable in this example):
