Method Details

renderImage

public static File renderImage(File dotExecutablePath,
 File dotInputFile,
 String format,
 File outputFile,
 String[] outputs)

Parameters:

dotExecutablePath - The path of the local Graphviz 'dot' executable, e.g. "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Graphviz2.38\\bin\\dot.exe"

dotInputFile - The DOT content to render

format - The image format to export the graph to (e.g. 'pdf' or 'png')

outputFile - The output file or null if the input file name and location should be used (where only the file extension is changed dependent on the format)

outputs - A String array with two Strings, where the first contains the output of the input stream and the second contains the output of the error stream.

Returns:

The image file generated by rendering the dotInputFile with Graphviz, using the specified format

executeDot

public static String[] executeDot(File dotExecutablePath,
 boolean invertYAxis,
 File dotInputFile,
 File outputFile,
 String outputFormat)

Calls the Graphviz 'dot' executable with the given arguments.

Parameters:

dotExecutablePath - The path of the local Graphviz 'dot' executable, e.g. "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Graphviz2.38\\bin\\dot.exe"

invertYAxis - Whether to invert the y-axis or not.

dotInputFile - The input file to pass to 'dot'.

outputFile - The output file to pass to 'dot' via the -o option. May be null.

outputFormat - The output format to pass to 'dot' via the -T option. May be null.

Returns:

A String array with two Strings, where the first contains the output of the input stream and the second contains the output of the error stream.

getSupportedExportFormats

public static String[] getSupportedExportFormats(String dotExecutable)

Parameters:

dotExecutable - path to the dot executable

Returns:

String array of the supported export formats
