Graphviz: How to go from .dot to a graph?
WindowsGraphvizDotWindows Problem Overview
I can't seem to figure this out. I have a .dot file, which is valid according to the syntax. How do I use graphviz to convert this into an image?
(note that I'm on Windows, not linux)
Windows Solutions
Solution 1 - Windows
type: dot -Tps filename.dot -o outfile.ps
If you want to use the dot renderer. There are alternatives like neato and twopi. If graphiz isn't in your path, figure out where it is installed and run it from there.
You can change the output format by varying the value after -T
and choosing an appropriate filename extension after -o
.
If you're using windows, check out the installed tool called GVEdit, it makes the whole process slightly easier.
Go look at the graphviz site in the section called "User's Guides" for more detail on how to use the tools:
http://www.graphviz.org/documentation/
(See page 27 for output formatting for the dot command, for instance)
Solution 2 - Windows
dot -Tps input.dot > output.eps
dot -Tpng input.dot > output.png
PostScript output seems always there. I am not sure if dot has PNG output by default. This may depend on how you have built it.
Solution 3 - Windows
> dot file.dot -Tpng -o image.png
This works on Windows and Linux. Graphviz must be installed.
Solution 4 - Windows
There's also the online viewers:
Solution 5 - Windows
Get the graphviz-2.24.msi http://www.graphviz.org/">Graphviz.org</a>;. Then get http://zvtm.sourceforge.net/zgrviewer.html">zgrviewer</a>;.
Zgrviewer requires java (probably 1.5+). You might have to set the paths to the Graphviz binaries in Zgrviewer's preferences.
File -> Open -> Open with dot -> SVG pipeline (standard) ... Pick your .dot file.
You can zoom in, export, all kinds of fun stuff.
Solution 6 - Windows
This should combine a lot of answers.
# Convert dot to png via graphviz
dot -Tpng filename.dot -o filename.png
# Convert dot to svg via graphviz
dot -Tsvg filename.dot -o filename.svg
# Convert dot to eps via graphviz
dot -Tps filename.dot -o filename.eps
Keep in mind that on OSX (MAC), you need to install homebrew to install graphviz to be able to use the dot commands above.
brew install graphviz
It is also possible to install Graphviz (and use the commands above) through the package manager functionality of conda if you have Anaconda installed.
conda install python-graphviz
Solution 7 - Windows
You can also output your file in xdot format, then render it in a browser using canviz, a JavaScript library.
To see an example, there is a "Canviz Demo" link on the page above as of November 2, 2014.
Solution 8 - Windows
You can use the VS code and install the Graphviz extension or,
- Install Graphviz from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html
- Add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin
(or your_installation_path/ bin) to your system variable PATH - Open cmd and go to the dir where you saved the .dot file
- Use the command
dot music-recommender.dot -Tpng -o image.png
Solution 9 - Windows
there is no requirement of any conversion.
We can simply use xdot command in Linux which is an Interactive viewer for Graphviz dot files.
ex: xdot file.dot

Solution 10 - Windows
For window user, Please run complete command to convert *.dot file to png:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe" -Tpng sampleTest.dot > sampletest.png.....
I have found a bug in solgraph that it is utilizing older version of solidity-parser that does not seem to be intelligent enough to capture new enhancement done for solidity programming language itself e.g. emit keyword for Event
Solution 11 - Windows
You can use a very good online tool for it. Here is the link dreampuf.github.io Just replace the code inside editer with your code.
