Graphviz V 2.34, GraphViz2 V 2.23 and output formats
A discrepancy has arisen between the list of output formats supported by Graphviz, and the list supported by my module GraphViz2.
The problem is that I download documentation pages from graphviz.org and extract lists for:
- arrow shapes
- attributes
- node shapes
- output formats
But sometimes I forget to run scripts/extract.*.pl before releasing another version, and sometimes the online docs are not up to date.
Further, end users of Graphviz can have locally installed plugins.
So today I’m re-working the code which generates a list of output formats, by running:
dot -T?
and parsing its output.
Lastly I should comment on all the CPAN tester results which are fails. The ones I checked (not every one :-) are all due to graphviz not being installed, so I’m not worried.
But if in your $work environment someone is worried, just explain what the problem is…
I try to write all code in Perl, but find I end up writing in bash, CSS, HTML, JS, and SQL, and doing database design, just to get anything done...
OK. I've released V 2.24, which gets its list of output format from 'dot -T?'.
