What I want to do is: - enter an organization role as a section heading - have the heading hierarchy map to the organization hierarchy - enter optional section properties to specify: - the name of the individual who might fill the role - color and line types for drawing "the box" for the role - a URL associated with the role - section text providing a brief description of the role - render this into some "nice looking" graphic The end result I'm going for is a clickable image on a web page made by rendering the organization chart such that clicking on a box sends the browser to the role-specific URL and the "alt" text for that link gives the section text. Is there already something along these lines? Some searches turned up empty My thinking is that if there was an "org-export-as-dot" then it would be close to what I want. I found org-export-as-freemind which is in the right direction but I think lacks some of what I want and I'd like to avoid using a GUI in the process. Thanks for any ideas on this. If there is nothing like this yet, maybe I can use it as an excuse to learn org's new export system. =2DBrett. PS: rough example org file might look like: * Boss :PROPERTIES: :Actor: Bob Bigbooty :URL: http://www.example.com/boss.html :NodeColor: blue :END: The boss dictates. ** Middle Manager=20 :PROPERTIES: :Actor:=20 :URL: http://www.example.com/layer.html :NodeColor: red :END: The middle manager spectates. *** Flunky :PROPERTIES: :Actor: Sam Small :URL: http://www.example.com/hardworker.html :END: While the flunky gets stuff done. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlJhiA8ACgkQEixH2Z0dKCwMhwCfdbo5EgoclNJxdLj56mg+eq5a uMgAoJzkvr/VvgQC/iGTJFxnLXCHjuer =wUYX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
