Example needed: which features are currently implemented?

Open SergeTauger opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

I am happy the project has such an active and friendly community, but I got completely lost in crossreferences and now I do not understand which features are planned, experimental or implemented, but not documented. Please see my harness below: it has 9 wires, all of different lengths but of same gauge, grouped into 3 cables, 2 major branch points and many minor branch points.

How do I document the harness with wireviz? What do I want to have:

  • BOM (each wire color is separate item)
  • cut list
  • lengths between branch points, at least major ones;

Is that possible with current wireviz syntax or I should have a deep dive in graphviz? Best, Serge

The current version of WireViz might not have solutions for all your needs, but to support multiple break-out points along your bundle, please see my suggested work-around where this can be obtained by specifying all bundle sections between break-out points separately (with their different section lengths) and join them with what I call virtual splices to make the sections appear as a continuous bundle.

See the syntax doc for a description of all currently implemented YAML input syntax and execute "wireviz --help" to see what command line arguments are currently supported.
