Dot_ix: Interactive GraphViz Dot Graphs

Heya, I made a toy web app that adds interactivity to GraphViz generated graphs.

My plan is to make my automation framework generate those graphs on a web page to visualize automation execution, e.g. by styling nodes and adding CSS animations.

If you love GraphViz and would like to support it, please do.

> Graphviz is maintained by a few very talented volunteers, and with some help from its founders. Financial donations are accepted on patreon. Anyone who is able to fund a summer intern project (or other project) based on graphviz is invited to contact any of the project leaders, e.g. send a message to north on graphviz org).

> This project has only 3 of its founders remaining as volunteer maintainers, and support is limited and may end soon. If you can help fund to a more formal foundation to continue this project, please contact north on graphviz org.

I love how easy GraphViz makes it to build integrations on top of it.

In a similar way to this usecase, I created interactive RNN visualizations for a WIP blog post by generating the layout with GraphViz and then rendering it in the browser with D3: https://rnn-temp.ameo.design/loadWeights.html

All the hard work like edge spline generation with bezier curves, node sizing and placement, edge label placement, etc. is taken care of, and the only thing remaining is just rendering some simple paths and polygons.

If you happen to be looking for a graphviz API (for .net), the following might help https://github.com/Rubjerg/Graphviz.NetWrapper

We wonder if the swig APIs are worth it. Comments?

The recent unfixed breakage of gvedit (the cross-platform Qt GUI) and deletion from the Windows build seems semi-tragic. Could use help there.

Hooray! Just the other day I was looking for tools like this one to visualize a database schema (Django's graph_models admin command)
