✨ makeflow_viz(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for makeflow_viz — yes that's the 1 in the corner meaning it's a user command, iykyk 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

makeflow_viz — visualization of Makeflow workflows 🎨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

makeflow_viz [options] <dagfile>

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, makeflow_viz is a whole collection of tools that draw your workflows for you, graphically, so you can actually see what's going on instead of just staring at a DAG file like 👁️👄👁️.

The formats it can spit out include DOT and PPM. Periodt. 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💅 Commands

• -v, --version — show the version string, bestie. Iconic little flex. ⭐
• -h, --help — show the help message. When in doubt, ask for help fr fr 🫶
• -D, --display=<opt> — translate the makeflow into the visualization format you want. The options are:
  • dot — DOT file format, for precise graph drawing. The overachiever of formats 💯
  • ppm — PPM file format, for rapid iconic display. Speed demon energy ⚡
  • cyto — Cytoscape format, for browsing and customization. Very main character 🧚
  • dax — DAX format, for use by the Pegasus workflow manager 🦄
  • json — a JSON representation of the DAG. The people's choice 💜

🌟 Options for dot output

• --dot-merge-similar — condense similar boxes. Less chaos, more aesthetic ✨
• --dot-proportional — change the size of the boxes so they're proportional to file size 📏
• --dot-no-labels — show only shapes, no text labels. Minimalist queen 🎀
• --dot-details — display a more detailed graph, including an operating sandbox for each task 🔍
• --dot-task-id — set the task label to the ID number instead of the command 🔢
• --dot-graph-attr — set graph attributes 🖌️
• --dot-node-attr — set node attributes 🖌️
• --dot-edge-attr — set edge attributes 🖌️
• --dot-task-attr — set task attributes 🖌️
• --dot-file-attr — set file attributes 🖌️

🌈 Options for ppm generation

Heads up bestie: the following ppm options are mutually exclusive — you literally cannot have them all at once, pick one 💀

• --ppm-highlight-row <row> — highlight row <row> in the completion graph 🌸
• --ppm-highlight-file <file> — highlight the node that creates file <file> in the completion graph 📁
• --ppm-highlight-executable <exe> — highlight executable <exe> in the completion graph ⚙️
• --ppm-show-levels — display different levels of depth in the completion graph 📊

💜 Options for JSON output

• --json — use JSON format for the workflow specification 🍓
• --jx — use JX format for the workflow specification 🧃
• --jx-args <<file>> — evaluate the JX input with the keys and values in file defined as variables 🔑
• --jx-define <<var>=<expr>> — set the JX variable VAR to the JX expression EXPR 🪄

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Wanna see it in action? Obsessed with these, actually.

To produce a DOT representation of the workflow:

makeflow_viz -D dot Makeflow

To produce a cytoscape representation of the workflow:

makeflow_viz -D cyto Makeflow
