A small LaTeX package which allows inline usage of graphviz code (at the moment only dot graphs & digraphs).
Either copy the graphvizzz.sty file into the folder that contains your other tex files or put it somewhere your LaTex distribution will find it (no info on that, sorry!).
Put \usepackage{graphvizzz} in your preamble and use the
\digraph
[scale=1.0]{nameOfGraph}
{
q0->q1;
}
command to insert a digraph. This will generate a nameOfGraph.dot and nameOfGraph.pdf file so make sure this name is unique! The [scale=1.0] can be any \includegraphics parameter.
A complete example:
\title{Graphvizzz test}
\author{Ives van der Flaas}
\date{\today}
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphvizzz} % <---- This needs to be included
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Oefening 1}
%% Start of dot diagram
\digraph
[scale=0.7]{g1}
{
margin="0 0 0 0";
rankdir="LR";
q0->q1->q2->q3->q0;
}
%% End of dot diagram
\end{document}
How do I make a non-directional graph instead of a directional one? Use \graph instead of \digraph (syntax is the same).
An error instead of my graph is being rendered, why is this?
Try opening a command window and type dot --help. If this command is not recognised, dot needs to be added to your path.
An error instead of my graph is being rendered and the log mentions something about access not allowed. Why is this? This is probably because your LaTeX installation is not allowed to execute programs (dot in our case). To fix this; see Enable Write18.
Because an executable (dot) needs to be started, write18 needs to be enabled.
For MikTeX users:
write18 allows calling external programs from within TeX. It's not a good idea to have it
enabled on a server, but for comfortable work with ConTeXt (for MetaFun or modules for R and gnuplot) you probably need it. Each application now has it's own configuration file. To enable write18 run initexmf --edit-config-file=miktex\config\pdftex.ini
and put
EnableWrite18=t
For non-miktex users: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Write18#Windows_-_MikTeX
Make sure dot is in your %PATH% or $PATH.
