DOT format

From TrustLet, a free, collaborative project for collecting and analyzing information about trust metrics.

DOT format is used to represent the visualization of graphs, for example the shape of nodes and edges. It is the input format of dot, dotty and the graphviz suite.

On this wiki we have enabled the Graphviz extension for MediaWiki, see some examples.

More information at the official GraphML homepage.

  a -> b [label="hello", style=dashed];
  a -> c [label="world"];
  c -> d; b -> c; d -> a;
  b [shape=Mdiamond, label="this is b"];
  c [shape=polygon, sides=5, peripheries=3];
  d [style=bold];
}

that is rendered like this:
