What is DOT (Graphviz)?

DOT is a plain text graph description language used by Graphviz to define graphs. It provides a simple way to describe nodes and edges in a graph. DOT files are commonly used for creating flowcharts, network diagrams, and hierarchical structures.

The .dot extension refers to files that contain descriptions of graphs in DOT language, which can be rendered into various formats such as PNG, SVG, or PDF using Graphviz tools.

How to open DOT?

DOT files can be opened using Graphviz tools, such as Graphviz Online, or software like Gephi, yEd, or Cytoscape. These tools allow you to visualize the graphs described by DOT files.

You can also use text editors like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++ to view and edit the DOT code, though you will need Graphviz installed to visualize the graph.
