  • Show HN: A Graphviz Implementation in Rust

    You can position everything manually exactly where you want it in graphviz without any of those tricks by using the neato engine.

    I use scripts to manually place everything from data in csv files.

  • How to Draw S-Curved Arrows Between Boxes

    I've been making diagrams using graphviz, but setting the positions and edge curves manually, pulling the nodes and edges out of a list in excel

    I've been setting the 'waypoints' for more complex curves (curves with many bends) manually (typing the bezier numbers in by hand), while I try and figure out how I want them routed, you're right it's not easy figuring out rules for where edge should go, let alone implementing it
