I need to make a xml template that will create a VDX
TBS can create docx! I need to create a vdx for visio. I currently do visualizations in my web application based on the D3.js framework. I can export these visualizations (force directed graphs and trees) to SVG format easily, but I would like to export them into a Visio format and have the connections stay anchored to the device objects. I am looking for away to write the code necessary to grab the X,Y coordinates of the Nodes and Links and export them as connected pairs to the Microsoft Visio XML format.(VDX) can TBS help do this?
here is my test data. http://www.partialdata.com/public_html/index.php Give a few to load the map. I would like to export that to VDX
Thank you for your time |

Re: I need to make a xml template that will create a VDX
the only place that is currently doing export to vdx is lucidcharts check out the link its what makes up the vdx file that file you can just save it as a .xml or .vdx if you can get your hands on visio or sign up for a free trial at lucidcharts you can import that vdx and see it as a visio document. here is a screen shot of what it looks like

and here is what the xml looks like to make up that vdx file.

Re: I need to make a xml template that will create a VDX
Hi,
A .vdx is a single XML file ?

Re: I need to make a xml template that will create a VDX
Then it is quite easy to merge a VDX with TBS.
You have to use TBS alone, that is without OpenTBS.
First build a basic VDX with Visio. This basic VDX should have a the characteristics of your target VDX but with a simple sample of data.
Then create your TBS template by editing your basic VDX with a text editor and place the TBS fields inside.
Then you can merge it with TBS.

Re: I need to make a xml template that will create a VDX
Ok, I saw your VDX but I didn't know that was your data.
I can help you on TBS, but I cannot help you to understand the VDX paradigm.
In your VDX, can you tell what part should be dynamic, and what are the new data to get in ?

what needs to be dynamic is the word "Awesome" That data will change. All these elements wont change. These <lc:Property Name="IgnoreTheme" xmlns:lc=" http://www.lucidchart.com">[]</lc:Property> i have no idea what they are doing at this point something lucid implemented.
but these elements you see like VisioDocument, Masters, Master, Shape, shapes etc... this is all part of the visio 2010 schema and is required. Some of the data that you see between the open and closed tag like my example above with the text being awesome that will change. Some tags will not be dynamic i can sort that out. I just need to see an example of how tbs could be used to construct this xml using dynamic data.
