## What it is
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
