Ok -- I got it know.  I will look at this later today.

Maybe -- what time zone are you in?

So are you trying to parse the output png to get coordinates?  Is that
even possible?  You can tell the C program to generate an output dot
file instead of image files, as follows:

e.g.

dot -Tdot input.txt -o output.txt

This will run the dot program reading in your input file (which is in
dot language) and generating an output file (which is in dot
language).  The output file will be fully attributed with coordinates
and sizes of nodes in parsable format.  Is that what you mean?

I have a new edition of GraphViz for Squeak that exposes this as an
option (to generate an output dot file).  I am not finished with it
yet though.  Maybe later today,

John
