This project is part of the @thi.ng/umbrella monorepo.
Graphviz document abstraction as vanilla JS objects and serialization to DOT format.
Provides several interfaces covering a large subset of GraphViz options and functions to serialize whole graphs (incl. subgraphs), nodes or edges. Supports both directed and undirected graphs.
Please see the GraphViz DOT guide for further details.
