Graphviz layout program

[Kolmogorov]

Sorry, I am a beginner with canviz, and I do not know how to do this:

"You need to send your dot/gv files through a Graphviz layout program,
such as dot, neato, circo, twopi, fdp, sddp, etc."

How to do this from a html page?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

Canviz itself does not do any layout work. You need to install Graphviz on your server and invoke one of the Graphviz binaries using a server language like PHP or Python. Canviz can only process the output of this process to display it on screen.

You should look at the Graphviz documentation rather than Canviz for your task. You can find examples of Python code (using the PyDot library) here : http://pythonhaven.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/generating_graphs_with_pydot/

Good luck
