Sometime ago I did a simple “ExportToGraph” plugin for Tomboy. Actually I think that it was some of the ugliest code I ever wrote (I didn’t know C# that time. And still don’t know…). After seeing this, I tried again and now I’ve finished a much cleaner version, using a modified version of Sebastian Menge’s xslt and the “ExportToHtml” code.
Here’s a simple image from my “Start Here” page:
Here’s the code, dll and xsl
Update: Now it’s hosted on Google Code and available as a mono addin (new tomboy plugin scheme).
Update 2: And now a .dll is availabe (for hardy heron). Check the download page.
Pretty cool. =P
Yeah, that rocks! Thanks Lauro!
The ultimate would be, to click on the map and let the note open … I know SVG is capable of that, but what viewers/gtk components support that?
Nice idea (And very useful) =)
After a quick search I found rsvg-sharp, but it’s without documentation. Well, thanks God it’s open source.
In the long run, I’m thinking about a “reverse” plugin. The user loads a dot file (created by a mind map program like Labyrinth) and the plugin creates the notes with titles and links between them.

I tried to install the plugin but could not. Is there a tutorial on how to install plugins? I really would like to use this plugin with tomboy notes.
I’m switching it to a mono Addin, which is the way plugins are loaded in the current Tomboy.
Hello. I’m curious how to install this plugin. I understood I had to place the .dll into ~/.tomboy/addins/, but when I do and restart Tomboy, it doesn’t appear in the plug-ins list. I’m using Tomboy 0.8.2 – is that not current enough?
In fact, this is TOO current. =)
I’m not finished yet (planning this week) with the conversion to Mono Addins.

Hi,
I have tried to use your plugin in tomboy 0.8.0. However, tomboy 0.8.0
does not support plugins. It only has addins. Can you please let me know
how do I use your code in the above tomboy version?
Thanks,
Shanki
Hi Shanki, it’s available now as an Addin. Check the project page.
hi,
thanks for your work & the excellent idea.
however, when I use it the plugin/addin creates an empty (0x0px, 0byte) svg.
did I do anything wrong?

Your add in looks very interesting but I am new to Ubuntu and to Tomboy and I do not know how to install it. I have downloaded the dll but do not know how to add it to Tomboy. Are there instructions somewhere?
Thanks for making this available, though!

How do I use ExportToGraph. Although I installed and it enabled it in addins, I don’t see any options for actually exporting anything as a graph. thanx.

Lauro, is this project still alive? If so, when will you make the graph live so one can click on a title & open the note?
Another question: I did an export but can’t find the graph. Where is it stored?
