This is fork of TracBlockdiag for our maintenance purpose.

Introduction

TracBlockdiag is a trac plugin that integrate blockdiag series into wiki pages. It's provide wiki macros for blockdiag, seqdiag, actdiag, nwdiag and rackdiag.

This software is available under the MIT license.

Features

TracBlockdiag has several features.

• Support almost blockdiag features (fontmap is not supported).
• Support PNG/SVG output (SVG support is Trac 0.12 only).
• Fastest wiki rendering.
• Multi thread/process safe.
• Check installed blockdiag series and provide only supported macros.
• Don't create temporary file.

Requirements

• Python >= 2.5
• Trac >= 0.11

If you need all features, you must use Trac 0.12 or later.

Install

First, clone the repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/yosisa/TracBlockdiag.git
$ cd TracBlockdiag

Then, you can install globally

# python setup.py install

or install to a specific Trac environment.

$ python setup.py bdist_egg
$ cp dist/*.egg /path/to/tracenv/plugins

Moreover, you must install blockdiag series which you want to integrate. For example, below command will install all blockdiag series (rackdiag is currently included in nwdiag).

$ pip install blockdiag seqdiag actdiag nwdiag

Optionally, you can use blockdiag plugins. If you need a plugin, you simply install it. For example, below command will install new shapes.

$ pip install blockdiagcontrib-cisco

Usage

If you are not familiar with blockdiag, you should read the blockdiag documentation first.

for Trac 0.12 or later

Macro synopsis like this:

{{{#!(block|seq|act|nw|rack)diag [type=(png|svg)] [IMG_TAG_ATTR=VALUE ...]
*DIAG_SOURCE_TEXT
}}}

You can write blockdiag source text as a wiki macro like below.

{{{#!blockdiag
{
  A -> B -> C;
       B -> D;
}
}}}

You can specify output format and width.

{{{#!blockdiag type=svg width=800px
{
  A -> B -> C;
       B -> D;
}
}}}

for Trac 0.11

Macro synopsis like this:

{{{
#!(block|seq|act|nw|rack)diag
*DIAG_SOURCE_TEXT
}}}

In Trac 0.11, macro arguments is not supported. So, all diagrams are generated with the format specified in default_type option.

You can write blockdiag source text as a wiki macro like below.

{{{
#!blockdiag
{
  A -> B -> C;
       B -> D;
}
}}}

Options

TracBlockdiag has several configuration parameters. These parameters are specify in [tracblockdiag] section of the trac.ini config file. These parameters are defined as follows.

name	type	default	description
font	string array	(auto)	Paths to font file which are used in PNG generation.
cachetime	int	300	Time in seconds which the plugin caches a generated diagram in.
gc_interval	int	100	The number of diagram generation. Unused cache is cleared every this count.
default_type	string	svg	Default diagram type to generate.
syntax_check	bool	True	Check syntax of source text and show error insted of 500 response. Note that when using syntax check, the performance is slightly down.
fallback	bool	False	Fallback to png image when a browser is not support svg. Note that using fallback causes double image generation because major browsers request png image whether svg rendering succeeded or not. So, enabling this option may causes high load.
