French application development house Neuron Data SA has added Diagrammer, a mechanism for including configuration diagrams into applications built using its Open Interface Elements graphical user interface development system. Drawings created using Diagrammer can contain programmable hot spots, which may be used for invoking different applications or procedures, the company says. The kinds of diagrams the module will accommodate are not your still life illustrations, but process and workflow diagrams such as document management, data flowcharts, database-entity relationships and business process re-engineering diagrams. Topology diagrams such as network management, engineering networks, client-server configurations and hardware configurations; and hierarchical diagrams such as organisational charts, class and sub-class relationships are also supported. At $1,000 on personal computers, Diagrammer ships next quarter for a range of Unixes, Windows NT and Windows.
