Gvstats - info about your Graphviz files

Here is a link to gvstats.gvpr, a program to report on your Graphviz files.
Sort of gc (https://www.graphviz.org/pdf/gc.1.pdf) on steroids.

From the help:

  a GVPR program that provides information about Graphviz input files
  - the file name
  - the layout engine  (if set)
  - node count
  - edge count
  - cluster count
  - HTML label count
  - record/Mrecord count
  - total Graph area   (if already processed by a layout engine)
  - total Node area    (if already processed by a layout engine)
  - node counts by degree (total edges connecting to a node)

  if the input file was previously processed by DOT
  - list of nodes per rank

  finally, the file itself, if the -c argument was provided to gvpr

And sample output:

/*****************************************************

Same offer as always to add this to the Graphviz repo to then ship to users…

Fair enough. I’ll let this sit for about a week to see if any bugs are found quickly then get w/ the team to determine what is worth adding.

My next toy will probably be my “pretty close to finished” lint program. It is driven off the “graphviz.gitlab.io/content/en/docs/attrs/*.md” and will require make files of some sort & an “include” process.

Fun idea!
