I'm actually disappointed that `gvpr` isn't mentioned at all on GraphViz's main page, because I think it's its most powerful tool. All I could find are manpages, and not even on GraphViz's own website!

- steveroush 5y agoI second the GVPR praise. Pretty powerful.
- sterlinm 5y agoAre there any good examples of how you'd actually use this in practice?
- j0057 5y agoI don't know of any example, but I immediately thought of a use case: to use it as a sort of CSS language where you take a graph with only 'semantic' custom attributes and use the GVPR language to transform these into shape and style attributes that are recognized by Graphviz, so that you don't have to repeat all the style information for each node and edge. That's already pretty exciting to me!
- pvaldes 5y agoNever had heard about it and use graphviz since... dunno, more than 15 years probably.
