Review By: Julien JAY
Web
Diagramming
Microsoft
has thought about WebMasters as Visio 2000 offers the possibility to index
and cartography existing websites in a very detailed way. It can also
integers Java, ASP (Active Server Pages) and HTML tags. That’s not all!
The professional release can identify broken links in order to help
webmasters to identify and solve these nasty problems. When drawing a
Website map users can take advantage of the telescopic connectors that
ease the customization of websites maps as well as the websites principle
schemas. We tested the website map feature of Microsoft Visio 2000 and in
45 minutes a complete and accurate, very long (when I say very long I mean
it! You can’t print the map on A4 papers you should at least use A3 to
see something!) map of ActiveWin.com appeared on the screen! This feature
is really easy and appreciable to use (as it works for you) and brings a
real plus to WebMasters that need to have a map of their site. Notice that
it also works for Intranet site.
Diagrams
Exchanging
New to
Microsoft Visio 2000 is the VML (Vector Markup Language) support: this new
technology allows users to share diagrams through the Internet easily.
Drawing can be exported in an enhanced VML format that allows to zoom
in/out, create panoramics, and dynamically navigate through multipage
drawings in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later like IE 5.5. It’s
an appreciable feature as this technology avoid using JPEG or GIF pictures
as it hard codes the data of the diagram picture directly into the HTML
source code: so the download time is really more faster! We tested this
feature with several different diagrams and we encountered no problem at
all except under Netscape Navigator. Time to retrieve VML graphic was 10%
more faster than if it was GIF or JPEG ones. Obviously you can also export
diagrams to a dozens of file formats like PowerPoint slideshows, HTML
(where diagram is saved as a PNG file by example), Adobe Illustrator, CGM,
GIF files and more.
