![]() You'd think they would be very straight forward (and for the navigation menu/bar, they tend to be but the sites I worked on, had partial translations to different languages, making everything more complicated than you'd think), but overall it was eye-opening. I used some scripts to scrape out the navigation links in the old site, to estimate how much the new plan would likely change over time. As an example, I've used Graphviz for exactly that reason when mapping out navigation in web sites. That is the exact part where Graphviz can help not with final diagrams. (The ones I use, only Dia handles that well.) To me, that indicates they are not sure what it will/should look like, yet. ![]() ![]() It's just that OP said they want the software to let them drag things around, with the connections adjusting automatically. If you do, Graphviz won't be of help, I agree. You could also add pos= x, yattributes to specific nodes (Junction1, Plug1, Socket1, Socket2) to fix their location, but I never bother I just let Graphviz ( dot, fdp, neato, circo, or one of the other tools in the Graphviz pack) do its thing, look at it and think about it a while, then draw my own in whatever tool I like, placing the nodes (junctions and connectors) first. Code: graph which produces Graphviz isn't useful for such small diagrams, or diagrams where you already know how you want to lay things around but from the first post it looks like this is one of the cases where you are still mapping the wiring out, and for that, Graphviz can be of help.
