How to create a diagram from data

McGintyMcGoo

Greetings

I'm working on a project that now requires me to map out some data in diagram form. The data is pulled in from a database. The diagram will look like your standard "disk directory tree".

Example: You may start off with 10 nodes on one level, but they will all eventually merge into one final node. I need to show the various points of where the data merges.

Does anyone know of resources to help me complete this project? I'd prefer to write the code myself, but might be prepared to use some 3rd party software. The rest of the project is in VB. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers

Joe

Thanks DaveJ, but my knowledge of C++ is very limited! I going to download the source anyway!!

I was hoping for something along the lines of dumping the data out to an XML file and finding some code/software that represents the nodes in diagram form. Does that ring a bell with anyone? I recall seeing diagrams of XML data mapped out, but I don't know what applications created the diagrams.

If you have the data in XMl you can simple use a tree view control in VB to dispay the XMl structure.

have a look of this link
