The Graphical Category Browser extension shows the interconnection of categories as a graph enhances navigability of the site.

• A special page "Graphical Categories Browser" is added.

• A graph is added on top of each category page showing the relationships to other categories.

Images are file cached. Cache control to match HTML and image output is supplied.

• Install Graphviz - Graph Visualization Software.

• Download script and copy to extensions.

• Correct $xyDotPath and $xyCategoriesCache to your needs.

• Create directory images/xyGraphvizCache

• Add the following line to LocalSettings.php

require_once("$IP/extensions/xyCategoryBrowser/xyCategoryBrowser.php");

To change the design you may override entries in the following array:

$xyCategoryGraphStyle = array(
 "COLOR_NODE" => "#EEEEEE", // color of category nodes
 "COLOR_NODE_ERROR" => "#FF0000", // color for internal error
 "COLOR_NODE_REDIRECT" => "#FFCCCC", // color of redirected category nodes
 "COLOR_NODE_MISSING" => "#FFFFCC", // color of missing category nodes
 "COLOR_LINK_REDIRECT" => "#FF0000", // color of redirect links
 "HEIGHT" => "1920", // height in pixels (96th of an inch)
 "WIDTH" => "768" // width in pixels (96th of an inch)
);
