Working alongside Agrafe

Owlograf reads the project from Agrafe; Agrafe stays the place where it is written.

Live updates

While a graph is open, Owlograf checks the project every 10 seconds. When someone changes it in Agrafe, or in another Owlograf, the graph redraws with the change, keeping your view and the positions of the boxes already there. It pauses while a dialog or a rename is open, and while the browser tab is hidden.

Jump to definition

Hover a box: ⌖ appears at the right of its title (Jump to definition (line N)). Click it to open Agrafe’s editor in a new tab, at the line that declares it. On a public project it opens the project in Agrafe, read-only.

When the project does not compile

The graph cannot be drawn while the project has errors: the page shows The project’s sources don’t compile: with Agrafe’s message. Fix them in Agrafe; the graph appears on the next check.

Shared settings

The theme (top bar) and the display language are shared with Agrafe and Pangloss. With editing allowed, the layout is shared with Agrafe’s Graph pane.

Other apps

The Apps menu in the top bar switches to the other Dolfin apps, including Pangloss, which shows the same project as a glossary.

Feedback and updates

The Feedback tab on the left edge sends a message to the Dolfin team with a screenshot you can crop. When Owlograf is updated while you have it open, a banner offers Reload.
