Graphviz Resources

Macros

Dependencies

  • Graphviz must be installed and configured on your Confluence server

Graphviz on Windows

  1. Download and run the Windows installer
    • Defaults to install in C:\Program Files\Graphviz2.16 or similar
    • Automatically adds this to your Windows path
    • Confirm that you can run dot.exe from a newly opened command line
  2. Restart Confluence
  3. Verify it works by creating a page with a simple flowchart macro like:

    No Format
    {flowchart} 
    A -> B
    {flowchart}
    
    Info
    titleIf you get errors about not finding dot.exe
    1. Download the plugin jar file
    2. Unzip the jar to a temporary directory
    3. Edit the graphviz.propertiesfile
      • Replace dot.candidate.paths setting with something like (yes, use forward slashes (smile)):

        No Format
        dot.candidate.paths=c:/PROGRA~1/Graphviz2.16/bin/dot.exe
        
    4. Zip all files in the temporary directory to create a new jar file
    5. Uninstall the graphviz plugin and re-install your customized version
    6. GVIZ-1 will make this easier

Graphviz on Mac OSX

  1. Download and run the installer.

Graphviz on Linux and Unix

  • Install the graphviz.rpm, the graphviz-graphs.rpm, and the graphviz-gd.rpm packages
  • Open the directory GraphViz is installed under and confirm the path
  • Login as the user who runs Confluence or starts the Confluence service
  • Append the path to the bin directory of GraphViz to the 'Path' variable
