Thinking about what I usually want to illustrate, I find that it tend to
boil down into relations between different boxes, where the actual layout
isn't too important - there are a number of constraints ("this should mirror
that", "this line should connect these two boxes", "this circle should be
above this box") and apart from that I don't care, as long as the result is
reasonably coherent.
This sounds like it is clearly doable by graph-organization algorithms, and
thus it sounds likely that somebody has done it :-)
Do any of you know of usable software that does this? I'm not looking for
PIC - I'm looking for something that does much more on its own, after I've
just specificed the constraints. I don't really care if I specify the
constraints in a GUI or text file (with a slight preference for text).
Eivind.
