Visio and Excel/Matlab integration?
Hello,
I am trying to integrate Visio with either Excel or Matlab. I have networking diagrams that need to be generated on demand. Network node information (such as physical location and system type, ie. source, router or sink) would be entered either into Matlab or Excel. I would then like Visio to plot the network routing based on the inputted information. Does anyone know if this integration would be possible, and which language/tool you would suggest? I will gladly provide more information at request. Thank you! Kyle |

Visio and Excel/Matlab integration?
Hi Al,
I forgot to mention that I am using Visio 2003. Do you have any examples for that version? Thanks, Kyle "AlEdlund" wrote: The easy part first. Visio 2007 can link to excel. Visio does not without custom coding use the data to create new drawings... Network routing can use a number of different algorithms (some standards based, some vendor specific), Visio understands none of them. I've attached a v2007 drawing with some example code to demonstrate basic graphing (breadth first, depth first, spanning tree, etc.) If you're asking which language might be appropriate, you might be in over your head. hth, al "khott13" wrote in message ...

Visio and Excel/Matlab integration?
What I sent should work in v2003, it doesn't use anything unique to v2007.
v2007 Pro added a lot of data connectivity options which is why I suggested it. If you're starting at v2003 there is a lot more code to write, although MSDN library (office developer) has a lot of examples of integrating with the other office products. al "khott13" wrote in message ...
