DESCRIPTION¶ ↑

Interface to the GraphViz graphing tool

SYNOPSIS¶ ↑

A basic example

require 'graphviz'

# Create a new graph
g = GraphViz.new( :G, :type => :digraph )

# Create two nodes
hello = g.add_node( "Hello" )
world = g.add_node( "World" )

# Create an edge between the two nodes
g.add_edge( hello, world )

# Generate output image
g.output( :png => "hello_world.png" )

The same but with a block

require 'graphviz'

GraphViz::new( :G, :type => :digraph ) { |g|
  g.world( :label => "World" ) << g.hello( :label => "Hello" )
}.output( :png => "hello_world.png" )

Create a graph from a file

require 'graphviz'

# In this example, hello.dot is :
#   digraph G {Hello->World;}

GraphViz.parse( "hello.dot", :path => "/usr/local/bin" ) { |g|
  g.get_node("Hello") { |n|
    n[:label] = "Bonjour"
  }
  g.get_node("World") { |n|
    n[:label] = "Le Monde"
  }
}.output(:png => "sample.png")

INSTALLATION¶ ↑

sudo gem install ruby-graphviz

You also need to install GraphViz and Treetop

On Windows you also need to install win32-open3. This is not an absolute requirement.
