I’m looking for a way to create a GraphViz export from a Chocolatey source.  
The goal would be to see all the Chocolatey packages from this source and the associated dependencies.  
Thank you in advance for your help.

Could you give an example? I guess by Chocolatey you mean [https://chocolatey.org/](https://chocolatey.org/) – do you mean a graph of what Chocolatey packages depend on a Chocolatey package?

Are you after something like [https://graphviz.org/Gallery/directed/go-package.html](https://graphviz.org/Gallery/directed/go-package.html) ?

For example (for a source Chocolatey with only notepadplusplus and vcredist-all packages):

digraph G {  
rankdir=LR;  
fontname=“sans-serif”;  
fillcolor=“blues4”;  
color=“blues4”;  
fontcolor=“blues3”;  
penwidth=“0.1”;  
edge [comment=“Wildcard edge”,  
fontname=“sans-serif”,  
fontsize=10,  
colorscheme=“blues3”,  
color=2,  
fontcolor=3];  
node [fontname=“serif”,  
fontsize=13,  
fillcolor=“2”,  
colorscheme=“blues4”,  
color=“2”,  
fontcolor=“4”,  
style=“filled”];  
“notepadplusplus” → “notepadplusplus.install”  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2005”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2008”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2010”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2012”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2013”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist140”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2015”;  
“vcredist-all” → “vcredist2017”;  
“vcredist140” → “chocolatey-core.extension”;  
“vcredist140” → “KB3033929”;  
“vcredist140” → “KB2919355”;  
“vcredist140” → “kb2999226”;  
}

I wrote this file by hand.  
I want to be able to generate the file via a script (powershell for example) to which I will pass an url from a Chocolatey source (internal): chocolatey2graphviz.ps1 -source “[http://mychocolatey/chocolatey](http://mychocolatey/chocolatey)”  
This script would list all the source packages (and associated dependencies) and export a dot file (in stdout by default, or in a file passed as a parameter: -out fileexport.dot).  
Thank you in advance.
