Graphviz is for noobs. Try TikZ, aka the Gigachad of vector graphics. I spent more time creating TikZ diagrams than actually writing my whole MSc. thesis.

- npiit 6y agoNow, 28 year old me after leaving academia and learning the superpower of TikZ, LaTeX and Beamer, I just use draw.io and google docs/slides.

- steveroush 6y agoI think dpic has surpassed pic/gpic
- chrisseaton 6y agoI don't believe TikZ does any kind of automatic layout - that's what most people use Graphviz for I believe.
- jandrese 6y ago> I spent more time creating TikZ diagrams than actually writing my whole MSc. thesis. Isn't this the primary problem with TikZ? It makes you do all the time consuming layout stuff by hand. With Graphviz you just chuck your data at it and get results instantly. Sure it won't be eye-optimized, but it also didn't require work on your part, nor will it require more work on your part when your data changes.
