They can be found at http://tmkrth.de/widelands/economy_graphs Feel free to use them for your needs I'd like to colour them and add icons of buildings, workers and wares, how could I approach that? Also, one could think about integrating the number of wares needed to produce other wares. The documentation at http://wl.widelands.org/help/atlanteans/buildings/ , http://wl.widelands.org/help/empire/buildings/ and http://wl.widelands.org/help/barbarians/buildings/ is really nice, maybe the graphs could show up there, too. What do you think about it? Sincerely, Tmk Edited: 2010-08-18, 12:54 Top Quote

You can get something like this: http://wl.widelands.org/wlmedia/news/uploaded/Barbarians.pdf Documentation is here: http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html#html Edited: 2010-08-20, 18:18 Top Quote

Icons are now shown, not besides or under them but across them. For that reason, may I ask if you still have the source text file of the http://wl.widelands.org/wlmedia/news/uploaded/Barbarians.pdf for me to crib a little? Edit: I got it now. I'll have to write lots of text lines the next days, hope the output will be pretty. It shall become the poster the Widelanders will print and bring to their LAN-Parties to have strategic advantage.

You can find my work by doing: $ bzr get lp:~sirver/widelands/help-generator and then run the utils/make_flow_diagram.py python script (you might have to install some packages (you need python and the pydot package for sure). You might want to have a look at that, I never got around to finish this properly and it would be quite valuable to have an autoupdatable pdf for all tribes :). We could link it here on the homepage and update it every night. Cheers, !SirVer Edited: 2010-08-22, 13:03 Top Quote

I will definitely work on with that instead of writing dot files manually Thank you. Edited: 2010-08-23, 20:24 Top Quote
