Graph:...r::DSM(3pm)

💖 Graph:...r::DSM(3pm) — bestie's guide to drawing graphs as DSM matrices 💖

okay so this is Graph:...r::DSM(3pm), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the moment your graph becomes a little grid of vibes. welcome 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Graph::Writer::DSM — draw graph as a DSM matrix 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.008 — yes she's got a version number and yes she's serving ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so what this does: it writes your graph as a quadractic matrix, N x N, where N is the number of vertices in the graph. (and yes the original spells it quadractic — we keep the receipts, no cap 🧾💖)

it's useful to visualize graphs with at least 1k vertices. like, tiny graphs? sure, whatever, but this thing is built for the big ones 🔥

wanna know more about DSM? go read up on it here, fr fr:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_structure_matrix>

no HTML links allowed in my cute little rewrite so just copy that URL into your browser bestie, it's the wikipedia page for Design structure matrix, that's the DSM lore 📚✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Graph;
use Graph::Writer::DSM;
my $graph = Graph->new();
my $writer = Graph::Writer::DSM->new(%OPTIONS);
$writer->write_graph($graph, "output.png");

look at her go. use it, new it, write_graph it, and boom: output.png 📸✨

👑 METHODS 👑

🌈 new()

like Graph::Writer::GraphViz, this module provides some extra parameters to the new() method. so you can be extra. as you should. 💅

$writer = Graph::Writer::DSM->new(color => 'red');

supported parameters are, bestie, listen up:

• pointsize — Default: 0.2. tiny dots, big energy ✨
• color — Default: 'blue'. 💙 (but you can absolutely change it, see above)
• tics_label — Default: false. off by default, turn it on if you want those labels

🍓 write_graph()

write a specific graph to a named file, like so:

$writer->write_graph($graph, $file);

the $file argument can either be a filename, or a filehandle for a previously opened file. so flexible. so iconic. 👑
