Manual:
This script imports graphviz dot Files into Blender. It uses graphviz the locations
generated from graphviz for positions. The RAW-plugin is used as template.

Setup:
copy all files to:
create a new folder in 2.56/scripts/addons (ex. io_import_dot)
copy all downloaded files to this folder

Usage:
Generate a dot graph "input.dot". (see graphviz homepage: www.graphviz.org, and sample.dot)
Run dot without -T option on this graph "dot -o output.dot input.dot"
Execute this script from the "File->Import" menu and choose "output.dot" file to
open.

Notes:
no html-formating is done, importer is really simple at the moment.

Hi,
Just a Reminder for people to Join the Mail List.
If you have not already, please visit this page:

Hi,
Due to changes to the api including the merging of bmesh, several addons are outdated.
Please, if you are the author of an addon check your script with blender revision 44256 or newer.
That is builds made After blender 2.62 official release.
I would ask that updates be made to your addon before the Blender 2.63 release.
6-8 weeks away.
This allows time for the api to become more exposed & bmesh to stablize furthur.
If you need help, drop into irc freenode #blenderpython or #blendercoders & feel welcome to ask questions.
At the time of 2.63 release, scripts that are not repaired or in active developement will have their tracker page marked "Closed"
this will not affect your links to the tracker, similar to closing scripts in 2.49b, the page will be still availible & can be re-opened.

Thanks for your understanding & patience during these Exciting Times.
Brendon.

hi,
Currently I'm still unsure of the working state of this addon.
Tests indicate it's not working.
I'm closing this page for now. as part of 2.63 cleanup.
If you want to resubmit your addon please let me know & this page can be reopened easily.
Thanks for your addon & interest in Blender.
Brendon.
