I remember looking at a couple information visualizations tool a while back. One was written in flash and the other in Javascript. They both allowed you put notes in "bubbles" and then link them to other "bubbles". Clicking on an existing bubble brought it to the front and rearranged others around it. The JS one was particularly inter...
I've always wanted to sketch all ideas I come up with in the computer instead of on paper, but everyone knows that sketching with good 'ol fashioned pen and paper beats the crap out of trying to do it with a mouse (or even worse, a touch pad). So I turn to stack overflow with this question: Does any one of you know a magic program that ...
I cannot find any libraries that will produce a radial diagram. I said .net or php, but it could be jQuery and I pull back data from a web service for it. I don't know how to implement it yet. I am just looking for a radial diagram open source project. I have searched and couldn't find anything. I am aware of mind map but couldn't s...
I am currently trying to draw a set of UML diagrams to represent products, offers, orders, deliveries and payments. These diagrams have probably been invented by a million developers before me. Are there any efforts to standardize the modeling of such common things? Or even the modeling of specific domains (for example car-manufactur...
I've found some similar questions (here, here, and here) asking about storing documents into version control. I have a more specific requirement and general question. The specific requirement is that I want to use Git. The more general question is, how should documents (for design, test, general practices, tips, etc, of a project) be sto...
Visio 2007 support reverse engineering a MSSQL Database. However, SQL2008 is not supported (link). Are there other (free?) tools that can do this? thx. ...
Does anyone know a good method for mapping devices on a network? I am looking for something that can establish the connection layout between devices to build a visual network diagram. Any ideas? ...
I am looking for a library to generate svg diagrams in python (I fetch data from a sql database). I have found python-gd, but it has not much documentation and last update was in 2005 so I wonder if there are any other libraries that are good for this purpose. I am mostly thinking about simple line graphs, something like this: ...
I have two classes, but don't what kind of relation i should use. I have a class Document with a lot properties and no methods. The second class is what i called the DocumentFact (Fact - Factory). This class contains different methods which returns a collection of Document objects. So, the Document class doesn't know anything about the ...
I'm beginning to learn Ruby on Rails, and looking at other peoples code. Is there any way to take an exisiting codebase and create object relationship diagrams or Entity relationship diagrams (ERD's) ? I know Visio can do some things given a database, but I was hoping to produce diagrams of classes, objects and objects. ...
Hi, Does anyone know of any kind of UML variation which can map events in a GUI system? I have a quite complex event driven GUI system and I would like to create a diagram so new developers can easily get an overview of events fired by various views and what models/controllers or view are instantiated/effected by these events. I was l...
Looking for a light weight ER Diagram tool. We are only looking to visualize our tables and their relationships, however none of them have primary key constraints defined. We use certain index/NOT NULL fields as primary keys (eg: claim_num). We simply need a tool that let's you draw the diagram itself, nothing more nor less. Also, for so...
I am an OS X user. Often, I need to share architectural, workflow and other data with managers and developers in a visual fashion. Can anyone recommend me some software and tell me why it's awesome? ...
I have to create a short program in C that manipulates strings, but I always run into some weird pointer errors. While K&R is a great reference on the language, and I often look at it when I am puzzled it already assumes you are an adequate programmer. The lecturer that teaches us programming said that good programmers make nice diagra...
Creating a call stack diagram We have just recently been thrown into a big project that requires us to get into the code (duh). We are using different methods to get acquainted with it, breakpoints etc. However we found that one method is to make a call tree of the application, what is the easiest /fastest way to do this? By code? Pl...
Is there a way to copy the class diagram generated by the LINQ To SQL ORM in VS2008 without using print screen (yes, I know it's pathetic)? For example, when I create database projects in Visual Studio I can copy the database diagrams and save them later in Paint.NET in any image format. Any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciate...
My group uses Literate Programming for most of our source code---this means that internal documentation is written using LaTeX. We have been using PStricks for fancy technical diagrams of the system, but have recently been recommended to use TikZ. I've gathered this information: TikZ/PGF is new and maintained; PStricks went a long ti...
In all of the slides and doumentation for new APIs, design concepts, and models I see some nice graphics used to represent them. EDIT: Here is a sample of the kind of diagram I would like to produce. In the past I have used Visio, Word, PowerPoint, but I never seem to like working with them or be able to produce the same kind of beaut...
I have a diagram designer program and I want to add texts to shapes (these are path objects) when user right clicks to a shape and writes shape name in the property window. I add a context menu property to shapes and when user clicks to "properties" in the context menu, a new window opens that has a textbox and a button. I can add a text...
