## SYNOPSIS

A basic example

    require 'graphviz'

    # Create a new graph
    g = GraphViz.new( :G, :type => :digraph )

    # Create two nodes
    hello = g.add_node( "Hello" )
    world = g.add_node( "World" )

    # Create an edge between the two nodes
    g.add_edge( hello, world )

    # Generate output image
    g.output( :png => "hello_world.png" )

The same but with a block

    require 'graphviz'

    GraphViz::new( :G, :type => :digraph ) { |g|
      g.world( :label => "World" ) << g.hello( :label => "Hello" )
    }.output( :png => "hello_world.png" )

Create a graph from a file

    require 'graphviz'

    # In this example, hello.dot is :
    #   digraph G {Hello->World;}

    GraphViz.parse( "hello.dot", :path => "/usr/local/bin" ) { |g|
      g.get_node("Hello") { |n|
        n[:label] = "Bonjour"
      }
      g.get_node("World") { |n|
        n[:label] = "Le Monde"
      }
    }.output(:png => "sample.png")

GraphML support

    require 'graphviz/graphml'

    g = GraphViz::GraphML.new( "graphml/cluster.graphml" )
    g.graph.output( :path => "/usr/local/bin", :png => "#{$0}.png" )

At last, you can create familly tree with GraphViz::FamilyTree (beta) :

    require 'graphviz/family_tree'

    tree = GraphViz::FamilyTree.new do
      generation do
        benoist.is_a_man( "Benoist" )
        nathalie.is_a_woman( "Nathalie" )

        benoist.is_maried_with nathalie
      end

      generation do
        charlotte.is_a_woman( "Charlotte" )
        amelie.is_a_woman( "Amelie" )
        clement.is_a_man( "Clement" )
        gregoire.is_a_man( "Gregoire" )

        muriel.is_a_woman( "Muriel" )

        gregoire.is_maried_with muriel
      end

      couple( benoist, nathalie ).kids( charlotte, amelie, clement, gregoire )
    end

    tree.graph.save( :png => "#{$0}.png" )

## TOOLS

Ruby/GraphViz also include :

      ruby2gv -Tpng -oruby2gv.png ruby2gv

- `gem2gv`, a tools that's allow you to create a dependency graph between gems. Example : drp.ly/dSj9Y

      gem2gv -Tpng -oruby-graphviz.png ruby-graphviz

- `dot2ruby`, a tools that's allow you to create a ruby script from a graphviz script

      $ cat hello.dot
      digraph G {Hello->World;}

      $ dot2ruby hello.dot
      # This code was generated by dot2ruby.g

      require 'rubygems'
      require 'graphviz'
      graph_g = GraphViz.digraph( "G" ) { |graph_g|
        graph_g[:bb] = '0,0,70,108'
        node_hello = graph_g.add_node( "Hello", :height => '0.5', :label => '\N', :pos => '35,90', :width => '0.88889' )
        graph_g.add_edge( "Hello", "World", :pos => 'e,35,36.413 35,71.831 35,64.131 35,54.974 35,46.417' )
        node_world = graph_g.add_node( "World", :height => '0.5', :label => '\N', :pos => '35,18', :width => '0.97222' )
      }
      puts graph_g.output( :canon => String )

- `git2gv`, a tools that's allow you to show your git commits : dl.dropbox.com/u/72629/ruby-graphviz-git.svg

- `xml2gv`, a tools that's allow you to show a xml file as graph.

## GRAPH THEORY

    require 'graphviz'
    require 'graphviz/theory'

    g = GraphViz.new( :G ) { ... }

    t = GraphViz::Theory.new( g )

    puts "Adjancy matrix : "
    puts t.adjancy_matrix

    puts "Symmetric ? #{t.symmetric?}"

    puts "Incidence matrix :"
    puts t.incidence_matrix

    g.each_node do |name, node|
      puts "Degree of node `#{name}' = #{t.degree(node)}"
    end

    puts "Laplacian matrix :"
    puts t.laplacian_matrix

    puts "Dijkstra between a and f"
    r = t.moore_dijkstra(g.a, g.f)
    if r.nil?
      puts "No way !"
    else
      print "\tPath : "; p r[:path]
      puts "\tDistance : #{r[:distance]}"
    end

    print "Ranges : "
    rr = t.range
    p rr
    puts "Your graph contains circuits" if rr.include?(nil)

    puts "Critical path : "
    rrr = t.critical_path
    print "\tPath "; p rrr[:path]
    puts "\tDistance : #{rrr[:distance]}"

## INSTALLATION

    sudo gem install ruby-graphviz

You also need to install GraphViz and Treetop

On Windows you also need to install win32-open3. This is not an absolute requirement.
