Description

Connotea is a free online reference management service. It allows you to save links to all your favourite articles, references, websites and other online resources with one click. Connotea is also a social bookmarking tool, so you can view other people's collections to discover new, interesting content. This script is a Greasemonkey user script which alters the content of the web page when browsing connotea by inserting a treemap of the current tags using SVG. The code was inspired from [here]. As Firefox now supports the SVG format, this drawing can be displayed in your web browser. SVG is a vectorial format: Vector graphics editors allow to rotate, move, mirror, stretch, skew, generally perform affine transformations of objects, change z-order and combine the primitives into more complex objects.. Copying the SVG: drag your mouse over the picture, right-click --> 'View Selection Source'.
