GraphViz DOT Editor

DOT is a plain text graph description language used by GraphViz. It's a simple way to describe directed and undirected graphs using text notation. DOT files can be used to create various types of network diagrams, flowcharts, organizational charts, and more. Learn more from the official DOT Language Specification.

You can create directed graphs (digraph), undirected graphs (graph), flowcharts, network diagrams, organizational charts, state machines, entity relationship diagrams, dependency graphs, and hierarchical structures using DOT syntax. Browse the GraphViz Gallery for examples and inspiration.

GraphViz offers several layout engines: dot (hierarchical layouts), neato (spring model layouts), fdp (force-directed placement), sfdp (large graphs), twopi (radial layouts), and circo (circular layouts). Each engine is optimized for different types of graph structures. Read more about layout algorithms in the original AT&T research paper.

You can export your diagrams as SVG or PNG files using the export button in the toolbar. You can also share your diagrams with others using the share button, which generates a unique URL containing your DOT code. For advanced usage, consult the official GraphViz documentation.

For comprehensive learning resources, visit the official GraphViz documentation, explore the complete attributes reference, and check out the node shapes gallery. The community-driven GraphViz Gallery provides excellent real-world examples.

Our GraphViz editor supports AI-powered diagram generation. You can describe your desired diagram structure, relationships, or use cases, and the AI will generate appropriate DOT syntax. The AI understands various diagram types including organizational charts, network topologies, flowcharts, and dependency graphs. Simply use the AI chat feature to request diagram generation or modifications.
