绘图工具graphviz学习使用
起因
最近完成了研究生毕业设计,在写毕业论文时,老师曾经推荐使用代码来画相关的图,当时时间有些紧,所以没有这样做。最近在看rapidjson的文档,看到miloyip 文档中的图都是用dot文件的源代码编译出来的,一查,原来是graphviz的源代码。遂用了半天简单学习了下graphviz的语法和使用,感觉很不错,以后画图有了一个不错的工具。
graphviz 是一个运用广泛的命令行绘图软体,不过说是绘图软体,它能绘的图并不是一般人想像中的漫画或logo,而是数学意义上的graph,比较通俗的说法就是「关系图」。
安装
graphviz 支持 Windows、Mac OS X、FreeBSD、Solaris、Linux 等多种系统
-
Ubuntu或Debian下安装很简单:
sudo apt-get install graphviz -
Mac下使用brew
brew install graphviz -
Windows 下参考 http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php
入门使用
1. 编写以dot为后缀的源代码文件,如:
// hello.dot digraph {
hello -> world;
}
2. 使用dot命令编译,如
dot hello.dot -T png -o hello.png
完整的命令为:
<cmd> <inputfile> -T <format> -o <outputfile>其中graphviz 的<cmd> 有好几种,每种使用方法都完全相同,差别只在于渲染出来的图片效果不一样。man中的简介是这样的:
| <cmd> | 介绍 |
|---|---|
| dot | 渲染的图具有明确方向性。 |
| neato | 渲染的图缺乏方向性。 |
| twopi | 渲染的图采用放射性布局。 |
| circo | 渲染的图采用环型布局。 |
| fdp | 渲染的图缺乏方向性。 |
| sfdp | 渲染大型的图,图片缺乏方向性。 |
可以透过man <cmd> 取得进一步说明。但还是亲自用用比较容易理解。在本文中,凡没有说明的图,预设都是以dot渲染出来的。
3. 查看效果
效果如下:

语法介绍
graphviz使用dot语法来说明,其它语法可以用形式化的描述如下:
graph = [strict] (digraph | graph) id ’{’ stmt-list ’}’
stmt-list = [stmt [’;’] [stmt-list ] ]
stmt = attr-stmt | node-stmt | edge-stmt | subgraph | id ’=’ id
attr-stmt = (graph | node | edge) attr-list
attr-list = ’[’ [a-list ] ’]’ [attr-list]
a-list = id ’=’ id [’,’] [a-list]
node-stmt = node-id [attr-list]
node-id = id [port]
port = port-location [port-angle] | port-angle [port-location]
port-location = ’:’ id|’:’ ’(’id’,’id’)’
port-angle = ’@’ id
edge-stmt = (node-id | subgraph) edgeRHS [attr-list]
edgeRHS = edgeop (node-id | subgraph) [edgeRHS]
subgraph = [subgraph id] ’{’ stmt-list ’}’ | subgraph id
graphviz 有两种图,一种是无向图graph,边用--连接,一种是有向图digraph,边用->连接,这个可以很简单的实践。

实例
介绍了上面的语法,实际使用的时候就是学习几个详细的例子,下面是一个二叉树代码:
digraph g {
node [shape = record,height=.1];
node0[label = "<f0> |<f1> G|<f2> "];
node1[label = "<f0> |<f1> E|<f2> "];
node2[label = "<f0> |<f1> B|<f2> "];
node3[label = "<f0> |<f1> F|<f2> "];
node4[label = "<f0> |<f1> R|<f2> "];
node5[label = "<f0> |<f1> H|<f2> "];
node6[label = "<f0> |<f1> Y|<f2> "];
node7[label = "<f0> |<f1> A|<f2> "];
node8[label = "<f0> |<f1> C|<f2> "];
"node0":f2 -> "node4":f1;
"node0":f0 -> "node1":f1;
"node1":f0 -> "node2":f1;
"node1":f2 -> "node3":f1;
"node2":f2 -> "node8":f1;
"node2":f0 -> "node7":f1;
"node4":f2 -> "node6":f1;
"node4":f0 -> "node5":f1;
}
效果如下:

python调用
除了可以使用dot文件编写图形外,也可以使用python编写相关的代码,生成图形文件,
安装方法:
pip install pygraphviz
引用 PyGraphviz:
import pygraphviz as pgv
初始化图类:
G=pgv.AGraph()
增加结点和边:
G.add_node('a') # adds node 'a'
G.add_edge('b','c') # adds edge 'b'-'c' (and also nodes 'b', 'c')
设置属性:
G.graph_attr['label']='test graphf'
G.node_attr['shape']='circle'
G.edge_attr['color']='red'
设置输出的格式:
G.layout() # default to neato
G.layout(prog='dot') # use do
输出到文件:
G.draw('file.png') # write previously positioned graph to PNG file
G.draw('file.ps',prog='circo') # use circo to position, write PS file
效果:
