Graph:...raphViz(3pm)

💖 Graph::Writer::GraphViz 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Graph::Writer::GraphViz — it's the GraphViz Writer for Graph object, and honestly? it's giving "I make your graphs look cute on purpose." 🎀 This one's shipped as part of the user-contributed Perl documentation, and we're gonna walk through the whole thing together, no skips, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, just look at it:

my @v = qw/Alice Bob Crude Dr/;
my $g = Graph->new(@v);

my $wr = Graph::Writer::GraphViz->new(-format => 'dot');
$wr->write_graph($g,'/tmp/graph.simple.dot');

my $wr_png = Graph::Writer::GraphViz->new(-format => 'png');
$wr_png->write_graph($g,'/tmp/graph.simple.png');

Graph::Writer::GraphViz->new(
      -format => 'png',
      -layout => 'twopi',
      -ranksep => 1.5,
      -fontsize => 8
      -edge_color => 'grey',
      -node_color => 'black',
     )->write_graph($g,'/tmp/graph.png');

(yes we're keeping it character for character, comma situation included — that's a whole mood and we don't touch it 💅)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Graph::Writer::GraphViz is a class for writing out a Graph object with the GraphViz module. That's the whole vibe. And the tea is: all GraphViz formats should be supported without a problem ✨ no cap, she's flexible like that.

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💜 new()

Unlike other Graph::Writer modules, this module gives you an extra parameter called '-format' on the new() method — that's the whole point, so you can save in different formats, periodt. 👑

Other GraphViz parameters she supports are -layout, -ranksep, -shape, -fontsize, and -arrowsize. Wanna see them in action? Go peek at the SYNOPSIS above, bestie, the examples are right there. 🫶

heads up: which formats are actually valid depends on those GraphViz as_fmt methods on your system. So like, 'gif' works if you have as_gif, and 'text' works if you can do as_text. it's a vibe check with your local install, iykyk 💀
