Four layout extensions for OpenOffice.org Writer
10-27-2008 01:00 AM
OpenOffice.org Writer is as much a desktop publishing program as a word processor. That fact, however, has yet to have much influence on the extensions created for Writer -- perhaps because most users prefer manual formatting to organizing themselves with page styles, templates, and other elements of document design. Still, extensions for layout are starting to appear, as demonstrated by four extensions that help you automate layout: Alba, which manages page orientation; Pagination and Pager, which manage page numbering; and Template Changer, which allows you to change the template, and therefore the entire layout of documents, on the fly. And all but one of these extensions use styles and templates, the way that OpenOffice.org is built to work, which means that they are highly stable.

graph::writer::dot

Graph::Writer::Dot(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   Graph::Writer::Dot(3pm)

NAME

       Graph::Writer::Dot - write out directed graph in Dot format

SYNOPSIS

	 use Graph;
	 use Graph::Writer::Dot;

	 $graph = Graph->new();
	 # add edges and nodes to the graph

	 $writer = Graph::Writer::Dot->new();
	 $writer->write_graph($graph, 'mygraph.dot');

DESCRIPTION

       Graph::Writer::Dot is a class for writing out a directed graph in the file format used by the dot tool (part of the AT+T graphviz package).
       The graph must be an instance of the Graph class, which is actually a set of classes developed by Jarkko Hietaniemi.

METHODS

   new()
       Constructor - generate a new writer instance.

	 $writer = Graph::Writer::Dot->new();

       This doesn't take any arguments.

   write_graph()
       Write a specific graph to a named file:

	 $writer->write_graph($graph, $file);

       The $file argument can either be a filename, or a filehandle for a previously opened file.
