Silly question for the static webpage people here…
I want to put together a documentation webpage for a system that a few of us have developed. This isn't API documentation, but rather end-user documentation. Some of it will discuss deployment instructions, but there'll be a lot of diagrams and […]

Had fun at work today showing off my #Graphviz skills ... the software architect's friend! Drew a complex diagram in "real time" during a meeting to successfully explain a system integration.
Just because something is old doesn't mean it is worthless; will that apply to me too in a few years?! 😀

![— In UML create a comment note.
— In UML diagrams, a **comment** (or “note”) is shown as a rectangle with a dog-eared corner.
Graphviz can mimic this by using `shape=note`.
Example in DOT:
```dot
digraph UML_Comment {
rankdir=LR;
node [fontname="Arial", fontsize=12];
// Regular UML component
A [label="«component»\nOrder Service", shape=component];
// UML comment
Cmt [label="Processes orders\nand handles payments", shape=note, style=filled, fillcolor="#ffffcc"];
// Dashed association from comment to element
Cmt -> A [style=dashed, arrowhead=none];
}
```
**Key points:**
* `shape=note` → dog-eared corner rectangle.
* `fillcolor` → makes the note background match UML style (light yellow is common).
* `style=dashed, arrowhead=none` → matches UML’s “annotates” relationship from a comment to a model element.
---
If you want, I can insert UML comment nodes into your **O1/O2 Graphviz diagram** to annotate entire clusters or specific tasks, so they look like sticky notes connected to the relevant part. Would you like me to do that?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34na47mry5rtwq3l7xm6w3hc/bafkreiaifxbhfdl5pkwcpva4ao6dt4yc5xaqnbt4b7jiesm3jme7p75oma)

Many years ago I contributed to #GraphViz code for several new node shapes, including UML notes. Now #ChatGPT advises me how to use them! 😃

Jokainen Suomen kansallispuisto on esitetty suunnillen oikeassa sijainnissaan joko ellipsinä (40 kpl) tai ympyränä (yksi).
Graphviz – kuten arvelinkin – tarjosi ratkaisun. Neato-algoritmillä graafin attribuuteiksi overlap=vpsc, overlap_scaling=0. Jokainen kansallispuisto fixedsize=true, shape=ellipse, overlap=false ja pos-attribuutti oikeaan kohtaan. Sitten kaikkien solmujen […]

I edit a weekly tl;dr of graph tech news and resources for @gdotv.bsky.social called the Weekly Edge and here's the first edition: gdotv.com/blog/weekly-...

For God’s sake, Ubuntu — Graphviz 2.42 was released more than 5 years ago! How much longer do we have to wait for you to catch up? This is ridiculous. Just don’t become another Debian stuck in the past.

I'm having fun exploring ways to visualise the history of BINs in @boldsystems.bsky.social using #graphviz Below is the history of BOLD:AAH8697 which is a BIN highlighted by @rudolf-meier.bsky.social in doi.org/10.1111/cla..... Columns are time-slices and the coloured boxes are bins.

G.V() is a graph database client and IDE that makes it easy to query, visualize, model, and explore your connected data.

Проте вплинути на те, як краще розмістити вузли на діаграмі, на жаль, не можливо. Цього дуже бракує в більш складних діаграмах. В цьому сенсі 35-річний #graphviz все ще поза конкуренцією, навіть не зважаючи на свій трохи ускладнений синтаксис.
a configuration file for a graphviz dot layout
After calculating the service dimensions, the dot file gets generated and fed into the #graphviz dot algorithm. The output is used to create the final Graph object which is returned to the client and rendered. The node with id 2 is the Service in this case.
There are lots of options out there for doing this, many of them are tied to some framework or graphing engine. Since I'm rolling my own flow chart editor I needed a way to be able to invoke the layout algorithm.
After poking around for a while, I landed on the dot tool from graphviz.

A flow chart of the new GraphOptima framework's main modules: the Optimizer to explore the objective space of various solutions; the Layout Generator(s) to create a network layout based on a set of parameters; and the Layout Evaluator(s) to assess the readability of the resulting layout based on a set of readability metrics.
A scatter plot depicting the "Objective Space of Layout Solutions for a Randomly Generated ‘Price’ Network" The graphic shows the Pareto front as a scatter plot, representing possible layout solutions for a sample network with 10,000 nodes and 9,999 edges. The network is generated using a preferential attachment model. Each dot represents a ForceAtlas2 layout with specific parameter values for Scaling Factor, Gravity, and Max Iter (the number of iterations). The X, Y, and Z coordinates correspond to the values of the three readability metrics used for optimization: Crosslessness, Normalized Edge Length Variance, and Minimum Angle.
