To use cid2dot-Service you have to follow these steps:
-
Either you already have a textual CID-Graph or you may
download an example of the textual CID-Graphs below by clicking on the
name while holding the SHIFT key pressed, and save it on your computer
/ file system.
- Example
-
Enter the complete pathname of the textual CID-Graph you want to submit
into the text field just right of the text saying "Textual CID-Graph:"
or click on the button reading "Browse..." and select the
appropriate file.
-
Adjust the options to your likings.
-
Press the button labelled "Submit". You may have to wait a while
before you see the results. Your file will be transferred to our
system, so cid2dot-Service can process it. There it gets stored under
"cgiNUMBER-NAME" where NUMBER is a unique Process-ID to avoid name
conflicts and NAME is the original name of your file. This implies you
get a different name when you submit the same file a second time. To
inform you about errors that occurred while cid2dot was parsing your
file, its output is displayed. After a succesful run, a link appears
giving you the possibility to download and save the resulting
PostScript CID-Graph. Its name will start with "final-cgiNUMBER". All
temporary files get automatically deleted. When you download the
resulting graph it will be deleted, too.
