A declarative language for diagrams without so much as a passing mention of Graphviz, or even Mermaid.js anywhere in the docs?
It does look like a material upgrade from Graphviz, but even so...
- stragies 4y agographviz svg output can be (with some tricks) CSS-styled + JS-animated, so the sky is the limit w.r.t. how fancy you want to make you DOT graphs, and their elements.
- convolvatron 4y agoactually the effective limit seems to be around 50 nodes
- stragies 4y agoLimit of what exactly? I've made much bigger than 50 nodes SVG-graphs using GV, and styled them with probably 50+ CSS styles and animated more than 50 nodes. So, could you please elaborate?
- jgalt212 4y ago50 nodes may be close the limit of what a human can understand.
- convolvatron 4y agosorry...I do language development sometimes and GV (dot) has been a godsend for debugging. but at a certain size it just goes sideways and stops being useful and is more of a distraction. to be fair I think this more of a fundamental problem about visual understanding than some screwup in GV
