1 //! Generate files suitable for use with [Graphviz](https://www.graphviz.org/)
3 //! The `render` function generates output (e.g., an `output.dot` file) for
4 //! use with [Graphviz](https://www.graphviz.org/) by walking a labeled
5 //! graph. (Graphviz can then automatically lay out the nodes and edges
6 //! of the graph, and also optionally render the graph as an image or
7 //! other [output formats](https://www.graphviz.org/docs/outputs), such as SVG.)
9 //! Rather than impose some particular graph data structure on clients,
10 //! this library exposes two traits that clients can implement on their
11 //! own structs before handing them over to the rendering function.
13 //! Note: This library does not yet provide access to the full
14 //! expressiveness of the [DOT language](https://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html).
15 //! For example, there are many [attributes](https://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/attrs.html)
16 //! related to providing layout hints (e.g., left-to-right versus top-down, which
17 //! algorithm to use, etc). The current intention of this library is to
18 //! emit a human-readable .dot file with very regular structure suitable
19 //! for easy post-processing.
23 //! The first example uses a very simple graph representation: a list of
24 //! pairs of ints, representing the edges (the node set is implicit).
25 //! Each node label is derived directly from the int representing the node,
26 //! while the edge labels are all empty strings.
28 //! This example also illustrates how to use `Cow<[T]>` to return
29 //! an owned vector or a borrowed slice as appropriate: we construct the
30 //! node vector from scratch, but borrow the edge list (rather than
31 //! constructing a copy of all the edges from scratch).
33 //! The output from this example renders five nodes, with the first four
34 //! forming a diamond-shaped acyclic graph and then pointing to the fifth

111 //! N2 -> N3[label=""];
112 //! N3 -> N4[label=""];
113 //! N4 -> N4[label=""];
117 //! The second example illustrates using `node_label` and `edge_label` to
118 //! add labels to the nodes and edges in the rendered graph. The graph
119 //! here carries both `nodes` (the label text to use for rendering a
120 //! particular node), and `edges` (again a list of `(source,target)`
123 //! This example also illustrates how to use a type (in this case the edge
124 //! type) that shares substructure with the graph: the edge type here is a
125 //! direct reference to the `(source,target)` pair stored in the graph's
126 //! internal vector (rather than passing around a copy of the pair
127 //! itself). Note that this implies that `fn edges(&'a self)` must
128 //! construct a fresh `Vec<&'a (usize,usize)>` from the `Vec<(usize,usize)>`
129 //! edges stored in `self`.
131 //! Since both the set of nodes and the set of edges are always
132 //! constructed from scratch via iterators, we use the `collect()` method
133 //! from the `Iterator` trait to collect the nodes and edges into freshly
134 //! constructed growable `Vec` values (rather than using `Cow` as in the
135 //! first example above).
137 //! The output from this example renders four nodes that make up the
138 //! Hasse-diagram for the subsets of the set `{x, y}`. Each edge is
139 //! labeled with the ⊆ character (specified using the HTML character

345 // There is a tension in the design of the labelling API.
347 // For example, I considered making a `Labeller<T>` trait that

349 // implement `Labeller<Node>` and `Labeller<Edge>`. However, this is
350 // not possible without functional dependencies. (One could work
351 // around that, but I did not explore that avenue heavily.)
353 // Another approach that I actually used for a while was to make a
354 // `Label<Context>` trait that is implemented by the client-specific
355 // Node and Edge types (as well as an implementation on Graph itself
356 // for the overall name for the graph). The main disadvantage of this
357 // second approach (compared to having the `G` type parameter
358 // implement a Labelling service) that I have encountered is that it
359 // makes it impossible to use types outside of the current crate
360 // directly as Nodes/Edges; you need to wrap them in newtype'd
361 // structs. See e.g., the `No` and `Ed` structs in the examples. (In
362 // practice clients using a graph in some other crate would need to
363 // provide some sort of adapter shim over the graph anyway to
364 // interface with this library).
366 // Another approach would be to make a single `Labeller<N,E>` trait
367 // that provides three methods (graph_label, node_label, edge_label),
368 // and then make `G` implement `Labeller<N,E>`. At first this did not
369 // appeal to me, since I had thought I would need separate methods on
370 // each data variant for dot-internal identifiers versus user-visible
371 // labels. However, the identifier/label distinction only arises for
