HTML report for large diagrams
« on: March 16, 2018, 08:47:36 pm »
Hi,
Is there a way to generate a HTML report on a large diagram?
At the moment it is impossible to see anything in the generated report.
The diagram has roughtly 120 elements and relations between them and has a span of about 4*A0 in size


Thanks,
Lina

First thought: why is the diagram that big? Can't you chop it off in several smaller diagrams?

I understand why you would like to do so, but it is the smaller splitted diagram that we would like to illustrate in one large integrating diagram.
We need to be able to show the business a complete picture over the product development and all elements that it includes (on a meta level) and how they relates to eachother. By only showing smaller pieces at the time it has become clear to us that they can't get the horizontal view that they need to be able to see. usually we need to print it on a very large paper, but it would be nice to be able to publish it.

But on the other hand, at the moment they cant see anything.... :o

Setting aside that I too feel that large diagrams like that can only be used effectively as wallpaper; the html export generally creates pretty detailed diagram images that allow a lot of zooming.

There are a number of settings that you might want to experiment with.
See Preferences | Diagram | Image Memory Limit  for example.

If you search either the forum or StackOverflow I believe you should be able to find a few topics related to this as well.
