Frequently Asked Questions
What is Graphviz DOT language?
DOT is a plain text graph description language. You define nodes and edges in a simple syntax, and Graphviz renders them as a visual graph. It's widely used for software architecture diagrams, dependency graphs, and flowcharts.
What's the difference between digraph and graph?
digraph creates a directed graph where edges have arrows (A -> B). graph creates an undirected graph with plain connections (A -- B).
Which layout engine should I use?
dot is best for hierarchical diagrams (flowcharts). neato and fdp are better for network/force-directed layouts. circo arranges nodes in a circle. twopi arranges in a radial tree.
