✨ NAME ✨

tkgraphviz — visualise graphviz files with Tk 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tkgraphviz [-c] file...

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the vibe: it uses Tk::GraphViz to visualise whatever graph file you hand it, in Graphviz "DOT" format. literally just that. and the way it lets you scroll instantly to a specified node?? iconic. main character energy fr fr ✨

When your pointer is hovering over a node or an edge, it shows you their name — or, for edges, the incident nodes. cute little peek, we love that for you 💖

Now, the search feature is giving adaptive. If Tk::MatchEntry is available, the search functionality will use it to autocomplete the node name for you — slay. But if it's not available? no worries bestie, it falls back to Tk::BrowseEntry, so you can either select from the dropdown or just type the name yourself. flexible. we stan 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -c — puts another pane on the left, with an image generated by dot. this lets you compare that against how Tk::GraphViz did it. side-by-side showdown, lowkey obsessed 👑
