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

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

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