graphviz

This plugin implements a graphviz directive similar to the one in sphinx that lets you create graphs using the DOT language.

The goal is compatibility, although the implementation differs greatly. Here's an example of it's output

You probably want to add something like this to your site's CSS:

p.graphviz { text-align: center; }

If you have graphviz installed but you get an error about dot not being found, you may need to tweak this:

# Path to the dot binary, if it's not in your PATH
# GRAPHVIZ_DOT = 'dot'

If you want to have the SVG in a separate file instead of embedded in the HTML, you may want to change these settings in your conf.py:

# If set to False, the graph will be in a separate file
# GRAPHVIZ_EMBED = True
# Folder where the graph will be stored
# GRAPHVIZ_OUTPUT = 'output/assets/graphviz'
# Path to use to link to the graph in the HTML output (needs trailing /)
# GRAPHVIZ_GRAPH_PATH = '/assets/graphviz/'

Incompatibilities with Sphinx:

• External .dot files path is considered from the current folder, which may not be what you want.
• The :alt: option is ignored when using .. graphviz:: and GRAPHVIZ_EMBED = True (set your graph's title instead)
• There is no support for formats other than SVG (but why would you use any other format?)

Requirements:

• Graphviz (Third-Party software)
