Export or save Graphviz link map

Asked by DavidM

Is there any way to export or save the link map generated by the Graphviz extension? I would like to get some visualizations out of a Zim notebook and it would be possible if I could save the link map and edit it with another program.

It's okay if it involves manually copying some temporary file created by graphviz, or command line, or whatever.

Thanks!

Currently no way to do that.

If you feel like hacking a bit, try editing "zim/plugins/__init__.py"
and look for the line

   #~ print '\n'.join(dotcode)+'\n'

if you remove the "#~ " comment prefix and run zim with "zim -V" you
will now see the output on the terminal when you open the dialog.

This output you can run through the graphviz "fdp" command to create an image.

Can you help with this problem?
