Dotmatrix (preview): Layout Engine for Monospaced Unicode Fonts

dotmatrixis a graphviz layout engine for generating graphs from DOT files into text via monospaced unicode fonts. I’m proud to announce it here in it’s preview debut: today it finally crossed the rubicon on graphviz’s C repo’s test suite (~320 .gv files) with about ~170 rendering “perfectly” (i.e. all nodes and edges with correct topology). The remaining are due to gv embedding HTML or other invalid artifacts.

Take a look at the preview gallery here.

I’m pretty impressed by how it even handles tricky graphs like Unix tree reasonably

Neat
