What are some tips for using Graphviz effectively?

To use Graphviz effectively, start by familiarizing yourself with the DOT language. Keep your graphs simple and use subgraphs for organization.

Can you give me an example of a simple graph in DOT format?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

digraph G {
    A -> B;
    B -> C;
    A -> C;
}

How can I customize the appearance of nodes and edges?

You can customize nodes and edges using attributes like shape, color, and style. For example:

node [shape=circle, color=lightblue];
edge [style=dashed];

What are some common mistakes to avoid when using Graphviz?

Common mistakes include overly complex graphs, neglecting to label nodes, and not using subgraphs for clarity.
