What is Graphviz?

The following GraphViz versions have been tested, and are known to work: 2.26.3; 2.28; 2.30.1; 2.34; 2.36; 2.38; 2.44; Note that versions 2.39 to 2.42 do not work very well with PlantUML. With version 2.44, under Windows, you may have to run dot -c in a command line to finalize the installation, like in the following example:. You may have to run dot -c with Administrator Right.

If you compile Graphviz by yourself, you have to build it with libexpat in order to work with PlantUML. If you find something wrong. Mostly correct notes for building Graphviz on Windows can be found here. MacPorts. provides both stable and development versions of Graphviz and the Mac GUI Graphviz.app.These can be obtained via the ports graphviz, graphviz-devel, graphviz-gui and graphviz-gui-devel. $ sudo port install graphviz.

Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. It has important applications in networking, bioinformatics, software engineering, database and web design, machine learning, and in visual interfaces for other technical domains.

Graphviz Install For Mac

Features

The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in useful formats, such as images and SVG for web pages; PDF or Postscript for inclusion in other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes.

Roadmap

dot - “hierarchical” or layered drawings of directed graphs. This is the default tool to use if edges have directionality.

neato - “spring model” layouts. This is the default tool to use if the graph is not too large (about 100 nodes) and you don't know anything else about it. Neato attempts to minimize a global energy function, which is equivalent to statistical multi-dimensional scaling.

fdp - “spring model” layouts similar to those of neato, but does this by reducing forces rather than working with energy.

sfdp - multiscale version of fdp for the layout of large graphs.

twopi - radial layouts, after Graham Wills 97. Nodes are placed on concentric circles depending their distance from a given root node.

circo - circular layout, after Six and Tollis 99, Kauffman and Wiese 02. This is suitable for certain diagrams of multiple cyclic structures, such as certain telecommunications networks.
