Automatically Generate a FlowChart in Python

Question

Dear All,

I would like to automatically generate a flowchart similar to this one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%281%29_2008-04-07_Information_Management-_Help_Desk.jpg ) with Python.

Do you have any advice regarding the library I should use to draw boxes, arrows (with the shortest path), text and some colors.

Many thanks in advance !

Answer 1

There might be better libraries available (i.e. ones that don't require a separate tool), but you can use python to generate a dot input file.
