[Myexperiment-discuss] Re: [Taverna-hackers] Scufl 2 workflow language

[Paul Gordon]

Well, my situation os a follows.  I export a T2Flow workflow from Seahawk, but it would be really nice to be able to preview the workflow that would be generated (as there are few export options available).  So the workflow is transient, and not necessarily public.  A remote workflow image generator based on submission of a T2Flow doc would be ideal, because then Seahawk would not need to ensure dot is locally installed.  Looks like the easiest solution in the absence of an existing idempotent generator in myExperiment is for me to build a simple POST CGI in Ruby myself using the Gems mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the info,

Paul

I don't suppose in the interim that there's a way to call the Ruby-based
T2Flow diagram generator of Biocatalogue remotely?

Having a lightweight piece of code to generate the workflow diagrams
(either via a network client or a standalone JAR) is DEFINITELY
something I'd like!
    

If you upload a workflow to myExperiment it should generate a picture for you..

I think that workflow upload also work via the myExperiment REST API -
but I'm not sure if that would generate the preview for you in the
same way that if you use it through the web page..

CCed myExperiment discuss list. :)
