Not exactly for the same purpose, but anyone knows about Graphviz [1]? Super expressive and you can visualize online in viz.js [2]. [1] https://www.graphviz.or

I've been using Vis.js and http://shaky.github.bushong.net/ http://shaky.github.bushong.net/. You can do really cool stuff with them. Highly recommend them both. I will import those into gimp and create all types of animation with them [1, 2]. I've built a db backend for vis.js and it makes to super simple to connect things and saves the positions for Vis.js. You can see a demo of it here: https://sysadmincasts.com/map https://sysadmincasts.com/map. Try zooming in/out, moving things, etc. I should probably open-source the code as others might like an example of it too.

I really like Graphviz; I really don't like that the latest MacOS release doesn't support it (yet). I mostly use Linux, but it's still a headache.

  You have it backwards. Graphviz doesn’t support the latest MacOS release, not vice versa.

Graphviz is one of the things that I make sure is installed when I get a new computer, along with PlatUML (also mentioned).

  Don't buy a Mac then. Apple managed to break the build on the latest version.

    It's broken frequently over the years. It's a command line tool so someone interested enough can package it up as a docker container and provide a simple wrapper script that would mostly work in-place.

      But then you’d need install Docker to generate graphs, which is kind of overkill compared to just fixing the build

    Broken as in, `./configure && make && make install` doesn't work? ETA: I actually am on a Mac, but I've decided for other reasons that my next one won't be. As far as I'm concerned the 2015 Macbook Pro was the last of the good ones.

      Broken as in there was no official working binary last time I checked. Maybe the binary does build but I quite liked the auto preview and other GUI features. > Graphviz.app currently doesn’t build on OSX Mojave because of Apple API changes. It would be wonderful if someone can fix this. https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/ https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/ It's a general theme that Apple doesn't take compatibility very seriously but each case is annoying.
