trying this cmd: graphviz\bin\dot -Tpng -Gcharset=Latin1 -o5.png input.gv
i get the windoes error “dot.exe no longer works”
Using the content of input.gv in the online graphviz editor works perfect.
Appreciate any hint, why dot.exe cannot process the Input-File
Using: dot - graphviz version 7.1.0 (20230121.1956)
Find attached the Input-File + Log-file input.gv (1.4 KB) log.txt (2.5 KB)
I think we need more context on (1) how you installed Graphviz, (2) what operating system you are running, and (3) how you are running Graphviz. The error you’ve quoted doesn’t come from anywhere in Graphviz itself, so some external wrapper or system must be printing that error.
Thanks for the reply, here the missing infomation
(1) executed windows_10_cmake_Release_graphviz-install-7.1.0-win64.exe
Installpath: D:\Program Files
(2) using Windows10
(3) within an windows-ascii-Terminal i’m executing the cmd:
graphviz\bin\dot -Tpng -Gcharset=Latin1 -o5.png input.gv
Basically graphviz works in this setup. If i’m using a different Input-File the png-File of the graph is generate as expected.
If i delete line 31-38 in the uploaded input.gv, graphviz works also.
I was not able to find teh reason why line 31-39 cause the error
Ortho is certainly a “work in progress” (or no progress right now).
I’ve looked at the code to no avail (I was never a serious C coder), but it looks thoughtful to me, just not tested sufficiently.
Maybe I’ll ask ChatGPT or Alexa, or my (unnamed) refrigerator to help me debug it. (feeble attempt at humor)
