Dotter

Dotter is a programmatic dot file generator. It is NOT a dot language renderer, i.e. a replacement for graphviz.

Wikipedia's introduction on the dot language is a good starting point. Alternatively consult the full specification.

Features

• programmatic dot generator
• support for Java objects as nodes
• partial type-safety

Using the library

TBD

Usage

Import the Dotter class and start using it with Dotter.graph(..) or Dotter.digraph(..). For more information read Dotter's Javadoc or check the test.

Contributing

Any contributions are of course welcome!

TODOs

• publish library
• subgraphs not yet supported
• rendering support from within Java building upon graphviz or any other renderer, maybe even native Java?
• normalize edges: currently an edge can spawn multiple nodes > aligned to dot language (multiple nodes connected on one line = one edge)
• add DotRenderer tests (necessary?)
• make a fully typed interface (attributes included)
• JSON renderer?
