XDOT(1)

💖 XDOT(1) 💖

ok bestie so you know how dot files are like, the whole vibe but you can't actually touch them? yeah. this is the glow-up. welcome to xdot, the interactive viewer for graphs written in Graphviz's dot language, straight out of the General Commands Manual. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xdot — interactive viewer for Graphviz dot files. literally what it says on the tin. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xdot [file]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. file is optional, so you can absolutely just run it and see what happens (it's giving mystery, it's giving suspense 💅).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

XDot is an interactive viewer for graphs written in Graphviz's dot language. that's the entire description, no cap — the manpage said it once and meant it. if you've got a graph and you want to poke at it, this is your girl. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f FILTER, --filter=FILTER — picks your graphviz filter, and your choices are dot, neato, twopi, circo, or fdp. the default is dot. yes bestie, dot the filter, in dot the language, run by xdot the program. iconic naming chaos, we love her for it 🌈
• -n, --no-filter — tells xdot to chill and not filter anything, because your input is already filtered into xdot format. use e.g. dot -Txdot first and then hand it over. main character energy: you did the work, xdot just shows it off ✨
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. one number, one exit, no small talk 💅
• -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. the classic. the icon. the one you run before reading literally anything else 🙈
