Collation graph

On the regularization page, I'm getting results from the TEI and Alignment Table buttons! But the collation graph is blank except for the pen, save, and legend. I seem to recall reading somewhere that extra software is needed for the graph to work. I can't find those instructions now, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated!

Hi Ken,

Glad you are getting collation results!  Yes, Graphviz is required for the variant graph display.  It should be available as a package you can install on your server if you are running a linux distribution, the Windows VMRCRE download bundle has it packaged in, and if you are running a Mac, you can get a package from our download folder: http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/vmrcre/ (or likely find a newer version somewhere else online).

If you still have trouble getting variant graphs working, let me know the environment on which you are running and I'll try to help.

I'm running ubuntu so I started following the instructions at https://www.katrinasiegfried.com/single-post/2018/10/24/Installing-GraphViz-on-Linux-Ubuntu-1804LTS
Now I'm seeing a graph!
I'm now reading section 4.6.3 of your thesis and learning the collation procedure by trial and error.
Thanks for the pointer!
