Graphviz is a free graph visualization software that enables users to depict structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. It is great for creating visual representations of data structures, hierarchies, and relationships, and is widely used in software engineering, bioinformatics, and organizational charts. Graphviz comes with a range of command-line tools and libraries that can process descriptions of graphs written in the DOT language, and generate output in formats like PNG, PDF, SVG, and others. Some of the tool that supports the features arenode and edge styling, subgraph creation, and layout customization, enabling users to generate clear and informative visualizations . By integrating Graphviz into workflows, we can enhance the interpretability and communication of complex information through spontaneous graphical representations.
