The 'drawn' -style output is cute. Would be nice if there were dot renderers that did 'artistic' renderings of diagrams.

- vidarh 11y agoDot has a SVG output mode that's reasonably easy to tweak/manipulate. I did an XSL file that adds gradients and drop-shadows to the Dot output back in the day [1] and there are a number of annoying corner cases to deal with, but it's not too horrible; would've been easier in something other than XSL though.

- willvarfar 11y agoVery nice! I've used little .ps icon files before, and been generally unhappy with the whole thing. At its heart, graphviz is great. But the tools so need a nice little modernizing. At the basic level, I found myself being very repetitive because its not possible for graphviz nodes to inherit attributes from others etc. No CSS kind of hierarchy.
