Main features of the graphviz library include * Almost complete coverage of all Graphviz attributes and syntax. * Support for specifying clusters. * The ability to use a custom node type. * Functions for running a Graphviz layout tool with all specified output types. * The ability to not only generate but also parse Dot code with two options strict and liberal (in terms of ordering of statements). * Functions to convert FGL graphs and other graph-like data structures to Dot code - including support to group them into clusters - with a high degree of customization by specifying which attributes to use and limited support for the inverse operation. * Round-trip support for passing an FGL graph through Graphviz to augment node and edge labels with positional information, etc.
