Good idea.

It looks like this:

Thanks for this cool tool keenerd.

Sophotect · 2009-04-30 03:50:55

Excellent! And shocking!

ArchArael · 2009-04-30 08:28:14

Really impressive dude.

By the way...I'm owned by openoffice-base

As am I. Maybe I should convert solely to LaTeX..

dunz0r · 2009-04-30 13:32:10

isn't there some other way of drawing the graph except with inkscape? Inkscape has alot of dependcies on my system(27 packages is waaay too much)

dunz0r · 2009-04-30 14:24:02

small system for the winz!

You know, I was thinking the same my self. But openoffice is a must for the compatibility with windows world. At work still sometimes I receive word, powerpoint and excel documents. So...openoffice is here to stay.

I don't have much problems with openoffice because it works well but I would really prefer plain text and my dear gvim editor.

That would be enough for my needs.

I've started to use Google Docs more often than not. Especially when I receive spreadsheets, pdfs, or powerpoints, because I can just open them directly from gmail without having to download and open. But I do prefer openoffice for writing papers.

Certainly! I've added support for svg2png (check the AUR). It depends on Cairo. It will also (optionally) run the png through imagemagick.

rofl... this is shocking..

here's mine if you want a look:

This is a sizable update. There has been a major addition to the placement algorithm. Basically, stuff will group a lot better. Spacing has been improved, too. Runs a little faster as well. Demo shots have been updated.

This one should not make gnome look so ugly :-)

Well that is bizarre. The package with no name? I'd ask you what it is, but that seems impossible.

Okay. That is patched. The code can catch, report and ultimately ignore errors when parsing packages. I am curious what it tells you.

capnmoney · 2009-04-30 23:57:40

This thing is very enjoyable. Its an interesting way to trim your system. I decided to ditch open office in favor of google docs because of this. My bad-plugins are suspiciously large, though.

Is svn2png or inkscape really necessary? Convert comes with imagemagick and a simple

convert pac3.svg pac3.png

should work.

I downloaded the tarball again and now it can be ran. Weird...

keenerd · 2009-05-01 00:56:45

@flamelab
At some point early on it would have said "Error reading package so-and-so". Any chance you can snag that?

@capnmoney
Huh. I somehow never noticed that. The fonts are AAed in inkscape, but not in imagemagick. Everything else is good enough, but it'll still check for inkscape first.

@All you awesome folk who have been testing this
Feature requests? :-)

Maybe the following:

add an option to accept package names/groups as arguments and create a diagram based on how the system would look if you had those packages installed

as above, but only show the packages that would be installed, i.e. the difference (could be interesting to assess what kde or gnome would add, for example)

as above, but ignore installed packages completely so that the diagram represents the packages' full dependency tree

I'm hoping that this would be trivial to implement, at least for regular packages (groups might be more difficult, didn't check how you get the information).

capnmoney · 2009-05-01 01:22:26

As long as you're taking requests... can we get something to enter colors in the command line? pacgraph -fc #dddddd -bc #333333 or something like that. Is it easy to maybe even get a specific resolution? -r 1650x1080 or whatever

koch · 2009-05-01 02:46:13

cleaned up system but this is not finished

toad · 2009-05-01 05:52:15

Wow,

convert pac3.svg pac3.png

gave me a 7.3 MB png!!!

deej · 2009-05-01 05:54:47

Very good !
I'm using mine as my wallpaper... how sad is that ?

Barrucadu · 2009-05-01 07:13:00

Mine, also with edited colours. I would use it as my wallpaper but I have a widescreen laptop, not a tallscreen one
I'll have to do some fiddling in GIMP…

dusanx · 2009-05-01 08:16:32

I can't download code? What is the correct link?

EDIT: Got it, link is ok.

could this be used to look at file sizes in the say your home folder?
