A Gradle plugin that generates visual dependency graphs for a project, outputting PNG, SVG, and DOT files. It supports customizable generators to filter which dependencies and transitive children appear in the graph.

Use cases

• visualize gradle project dependencies as a graph
• generate dependency graph png svg dot
• show only certain dependencies and their transitive ones in a graph
• document module dependency structure of a multi-module project
• audit which library groups are used in a gradle build

When to choose

• you use Gradle 3.3+ and want automated dependency graph reports
• you need customizable graph generators filtered by group or package
• you want graphs in multiple formats (png, svg, dot) for docs or reviews

When to avoid

• your project does not use Gradle
• you need interactive or live dependency exploration rather than static reports
• you rely heavily on the extension API, which is explicitly experimental and may change between releases
