Example
[edit]Why such a pathologically broken example? Look at the position of dhonbis on that map, then look what would happen if that node were placed nearer the bottom. Sweavo
License not GPL
[edit]I don't think the license is GPL: http://www.graphviz.org/License.php --Salty-horse 20:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- The license is CPL, which is a recognized open source license (though not as aggressive as the GPL). --Stephen North <north@graphviz.org> 6 October 2006
Graphviz + SVG + MediaWiki
[edit]For reference: As of January 30, 2006 MediaWiki rejects Graphviz's SVG output with this message:
- Upload warning
- This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser.
In particular, MediaWiki doesn't seem to like <g> elements inside <g> elements, and also doesn't like <title> elements. So eliminating these elements makes the document acceptable to MediaWiki. —Fleminra 06:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Possibly related: MediaWiki bug 4388. —Fleminra 20:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I uploaded one file to commons.wikimedia.org now, and nested g elements passed, but I still needed to remove all title tags. I'm going to suggest Commons to solve the problem instead of us. --TuukkaH 02:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
We've had problems figuring out what is both 'standard' and actually works in the popular implementations of SVG. At some point we considered the Adobe SVG plugin (now Acrobat) to be the reference, but even that has been a moving target sometimes. With native SVG support in Firefox we also consider that an important implementation. Finally, in adding Cairo path-based renderers, we hope ultimately these driver issues become someone else's problem! --Stephen North <north@graphviz.org> 6 October 2006
- Luckily the MediaWiki bug is now marked as fixed and SVG files with these standard features are accepted. There's at least one Graphviz diagram with title tags already at commons:Image:Versiones_de_TCP_en_BSD.svg. --TuukkaH 21:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
In an Articles for deletion debate, it was decided that lisp2dot should be merged here and subsequently redirect here (as it does now). I would take care of the merging, but I would have no idea of what I'm talking about, really. So I'd better not. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 10:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Rhode Island and New York
[edit]Did anyone else notice that according to the example, Rhode Island borders New York? —Preceding unsigned comment added by David!! (talk • contribs) 22:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- From Rhode Island#Geography: "[Rhode Island] shares a narrow maritime border with New York State between Block Island and Long Island." --skew-t (talk) 03:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

- Why do you say that? I checked the link today and it's fine. I downloaded it last week and it works great. What's up? 66.253.123.226 (talk) 21:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Impact of Graphviz - inquiry
[edit]Graphviz has been coming up as either a component or a concept to build forward from for years. I'm very curious about whether anyone has made some assessment of the impact of Graphviz in a variety of areas. I could well imagine that the actual impact might be limited based on the relatively small number of people who have deep-dived into the application and its uses, but I think there is a great deal of second-hand "ahh, that is possible .. then why not do it on platform X" impact. If not already written, there is likely a manuscript to be composed on this topic. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:48, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Patchage also
[edit]Patchage, a JACK and ALSA front-end. also uses Graphviz. At least in its 1.0.1 version. Phil 85.137.187.157 (talk) 12:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Broken link for AT&T Project page.
[edit]The link labelled "Graphviz, Projects & Software Page, AT&T Labs Research" is broken. AT&T research is still there but there no longer appear to be pages for individual projects. Maybe if someone knows that it is still around somewhere they could fix it, otherwise remove it. Butlerinstitute (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
Most of these tools doesn’t seem to be in up-to-date Graphviz
[edit]My distribution ships none of the tools mentioned except gml2gv
, gv2gml
, and gxl2gv
. I also notice that Ubuntu ships an extremely out-of-date version of Graphviz (2.42.2, newest is actually 8.1.0). I will inspect the sources to see when these tools were removed. Theanswertolifetheuniverseandeverything (talk) 19:28, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
