xdot
Interactive viewer for Graphviz dot graphs with fast rendering, zoom, and navigation.
What is xdot?
xdot.py is an interactive viewer for graphs written in Graphviz's dot language. It renders graphs using the xdot output format, providing a fast, vector-based interface for exploring node-edge diagrams. The tool solves the need for a responsive, zoomable viewer that can handle complex Graphviz outputs without performance issues.
Developers, researchers, and data scientists who work with Graphviz-generated graphs and need an interactive way to inspect, navigate, and present diagram structures.
Developers choose xdot.py for its speed, low memory footprint, and smooth interactivity compared to static image viewers. Its dual use as both a standalone app and an embeddable library offers flexibility for integration into custom visualization pipelines.
