Layout from orogen file

Dear all,

anybody knows if is there a tool which can:
- read an orogen file, eg. MyProject.orogen
- generate a bidimensional layout showing the network of components instanciated
and connected by the deployments listed in MyProject.orogen,
for istance using rectangular block for components and connection lines for connections?.

Thank you.

We built a couple of PHP and bash scripts, that together can read the deployment XML files and produce a graph that dot can use. Bar fighting with PHP and the Orocos XML, this was quite straight forward. You might be able to use a similar approach here ...
