Online Flowchart Diagram Tool (run from private wiki) [closed]

Question

Is there some flowchart diagram tool that would (or could be made to) integrate with a self-hosted wiki?

Requirements:

• basic functionality (e.g., drawing some boxes and some arrows)
• would strongly prefer it to be visual (i.e., not written out in text that then gets converted)
• allows for dynamic editing
• it is important that the tool can be integrated into the wiki (e.g., as an extra panel somewhere)
• can be run from a personal server
• free

I've looked around at other threads here concerning a diagram tool, but they are either desktop applications, online ones which reside on third-party servers, or cost money.

[Edit] Thanks for the responses, but I would like them to be dynamically editable (I've added this to the requirements). What I mean is that I would like to integrate (or run it from a private server) some online collaborative diagramming tool. While I could create a JPG of something made in Graphviz and upload it, this is not easily editable. I would have to upload the source file somewhere, which someone would have to download and edit, then upload the new JPG.

Answer 1

Graphviz dot diagrams can be embedded in some wikis. Unfortunately for your requirements, it's text that gets converted. It's fairly simple to learn and use though.

http://www.graphviz.org/

EDIT: It's free / open source.

Answer 2

I've been looking for something similar - collaborative flowcharts in a wiki. The most interesting so far is this Mediawiki extension: http://www.flowchartwiki.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Answer 3

Balsamiq Mockups for XWiki is the closest thing I've seen. It's more of a previsualization tool however for application mockups, though I'm not sure if this is the kind of tool you're looking for.

It is free if you qualify under their licensing.

Another option would be using Mediawiki with the Dia extension.

Answer 4

I like using the svgedit plugin in dokuwiki for quick diagramming on the run. It produces standard SVG text files and has an always up to the date javascript wysiwyg editor. And, I submitted a bug/feature request on github and the requested functionality was added post haste.

Edit: FOSS!
