In fact, it would be great to be able to allow users to select the source and destination groups and have the diagram automatically created. I know there are some programming languages that might help, but learning a new language just to do this might be quite inefficient.</p> <p>Many thanks for any pointers!!</p> <p>Andy. </p>
