Graphviz is open-source graph visualization software from AT&T Research that takes descriptions of graphs in a simple text language (DOT) and renders them as diagrams in formats like images, SVG, PDF, and Postscript. It includes several layout programs (dot, neato, etc.), auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings; this GitHub mirror is mothballed and development has moved to GitLab.

Use cases

• visualize dependency graphs from code
• render network topology diagrams
• draw state machine and flowchart diagrams
• generate org charts from data files
• convert DOT graph descriptions to SVG or PDF
• visualize database schemas as diagrams
• create diagrams for documentation from structured data

When to choose

• you need automatic layout of graphs and networks from textual descriptions
• you want to generate diagrams programmatically or in CI pipelines
• you need a mature, widely supported graph rendering tool with many language bindings

When to avoid

• you need a drag-and-drop diagram editor like Visio
• you want actively developed code from this specific GitHub mirror rather than the GitLab repository
• you need interactive real-time graph editing
