About Graphviz

Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. It has important applications in networking, bioinformatics, software engineering, database and web design, machine learning, and in visual interfaces for other technical domains.
The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in useful formats, such as images and SVG for web pages; PDF or Postscript for inclusion in other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes.

What's new in 16.1.0

Added
- Graph attribute svgid sets the id property of the <svg> of a graph. #2850
Fixed
- An sfdp crash has been fixed. This was a regression in Graphviz 15.1.1. #2852
- Graphs that induce invalid trapezoids during ortho routing no longer cause Graphviz crashes on non-Windows platforms. These scenarios now exit with failure gracefully. #2784
- edgepaint no longer crashes when passed the illegal option -s. #2857
- cluster no longer crashes when passed single character command-line options without arguments (e.g. cluster -C). #2857
- cluster of trivial graphs with no nodes no longer crashes. #2857
- cluster on large chains of nodes no longer references out-of-bounds memory. This was a regression in Graphviz 7.1.0. #2857
