Create graphs with DOT language

An easy way to create graphs is to use the DOT language as described here.

Cheat Sheet

A basic graph in DOT language looks like this:

digraph {
  Builder -> POCO1 
  Builder -> POCO2 
  Component -> IComponent 
  Context -> IComponent 
}

You could just describe the edges if all nodes have at least one edge using the “->”. Nodes without edges are just mentioned in a separate line.

Note: If you open a DOT file in Plainion.GraphViz and then continue editing it the visualization in Plainion.GraphViz will adopt automatically whenever you save the file.
