Question

Hello, I have a visio diagram which I would like displayed on my web page without the need for the user to click on a link or download the file.

I would also like my visio diagram to be dynamic i.e if a user clicks on a box they are taken to the next page.

I tried using the Draw Plugin, and found that there is a limit to how big the diagram can be i.e. I could not add more than 5 boxes going down and more than 7 boxes accross, the plugin itself allows a dynamic process map to be drawn. If there is a way to remove this restriction then I possibly wont need to add my visio diagram.

Please advise.

Kind Regards Dhwiren

I forgot to mention that I did an export in visio to a webpage (this created a htm file extension) I then tried to substitute this file in the Draw Plugin, but no joy.

I do apologise if this seems like a trivial question, but I am a newbie any any help provided is greatly appreciated.

I do not know what format visio is exporting the actual drawing. Assuming a .html container with a .gif file, and assuming all files are in the same directory and use relative path, you can attach all files to a TWiki page and link to it. If you just have an image, you can link to it with %ATTACHURL%/myimage.gif

On TWikiDrawPlugin, I am not aware of limit in number of elements in the drawing...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that, I tried the ATTACHURL, and yes I saw my image, however I would like to make the image dynamic i.e. if I have a TWiki word in my image if I was to click on it, I would then be navigated to the TWiki Topic.

I noticed I could export a visio diagram to .svg format, is there not another plugin that saves drawings/ diagrams as .svg files? Maybe I could try that.

Regards

With the TWikiDrawPlugin you can create clickable maps. Add a URL element to the drawing figures.
