Great work guys.

Overall, this is a great project. I was hoping that it would allow for the creation of custom objects and attributes, but no biggie.

I am interested in how you integrated Graphviz into the product. Are you using an API call to draw the files on the fly or are you opening a shell and executing dot/neato from the command line?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey cgelhaus,

We're using php command line functions to create the images and then show them in the browser.

Incidentally, we've talked about making custom objects and attributes, but we're still not sure how to solve dependency issues when creating custom objects. Much of Baconmap's functionality depends on the rules we lay down for how objects can be connected... custom objects wouldn't be able to follow such restrictions.
