'Graphviz: How to go from .dot to a graph?

I can't seem to figure this out. I have a .dot file, which is valid according to the syntax. How do I use graphviz to convert this into an image?

(note that I'm on Windows, not linux)

Solution 1:^[1]

dot -Tps input.dot > output.eps
dot -Tpng input.dot > output.png

PostScript output seems always there. I am not sure if dot has PNG output by default. This may depend on how you have built it.

Solution 2:^[2]

dot file.dot -Tpng -o image.png

This works on Windows and Linux. Graphviz must be installed.

Solution 3:^[3]

There's also the online viewers:

Solution 4:^[4]

Get the graphviz-2.24.msi Graphviz.org. Then get zgrviewer.

Zgrviewer requires java (probably 1.5+). You might have to set the paths to the Graphviz binaries in Zgrviewer's preferences.

File -> Open -> Open with dot -> SVG pipeline (standard) ... Pick your .dot file.

You can zoom in, export, all kinds of fun stuff.

Solution 5:^[5]

This should combine a lot of answers.

# Convert dot to png via graphviz
dot -Tpng filename.dot -o filename.png

# Convert dot to svg via graphviz
dot -Tsvg filename.dot -o filename.svg

# Convert dot to eps via graphviz
dot -Tps filename.dot -o filename.eps

Keep in mind that on OSX (MAC), you need to install homebrew to install graphviz to be able to use the dot commands above.

brew install graphviz

It is also possible to install Graphviz (and use the commands above) through the package manager functionality of conda if you have Anaconda installed.

conda install python-graphviz

You can also output your file in xdot format, then render it in a browser using canviz, a JavaScript library.

Canviz on code.google.com:

To see an example, there is a "Canviz Demo" link on the page above as of November 2, 2014.

Solution 7:^[7]

You can use the VS code and install the Graphviz extension or,

Install Graphviz from https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html
Add C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin (or your_installation_path/ bin) to your system variable PATH
Open cmd and go to the dir where you saved the .dot file
Use the command dot music-recommender.dot -Tpng -o image.png

Solution 8:^[8]

there is no requirement of any conversion.

We can simply use xdot command in Linux which is an Interactive viewer for Graphviz dot files.

ex: xdot file.dot

Solution 9:^[9]

For window user, Please run complete command to convert *.dot file to png:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot.exe" -Tpng sampleTest.dot > sampletest.png.....

I have found a bug in solgraph that it is utilizing older version of solidity-parser that does not seem to be intelligent enough to capture new enhancement done for solidity programming language itself e.g. emit keyword for Event

Solution 10:^[10]

You can use a very good online tool for it. Here is the link dreampuf.github.io Just replace the code inside editer with your code.
