# GRAPHVIZ sketchviz is a handy tool: https://sketchviz.com/new Here is the dot notation for the locations in horses on the brink: ``` graph { rankdir = LR s [ label = "Stables" ] t [ label = "Racetrack" ] p [ label = "Pasture" ] v [ label = "Vet" ] w [ label = "The Old Watering Hole" ] w -- p -- s -- t s -- v } ``` in vim you can visually select the lines and ``` :w !neato -Tsvg > graph.svg` ``` to create the image. (neato is a good "spring loaded" layout engine for non directional graphs) or if you want to replace the lines with svg, visually select the lines and ``` :!neato -Tsvg ``` I'll do this, copy the resulting svg to a buffer, and then `u` to undo so I can paste the svg somewhere in the document while retaining the original dot info. if you install `graph-easy` from CPAN then you can use a limited subset of dot to make unicode box art! ``` [ The Old Watering Hole ] -- [ Pasture ] -- [ Stables ] -- [ Racetrack ], [ Vet ] ``` visually select and: ``` :!graph-easy --as=boxart ``` ``` ┌───────────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ The Old Watering Hole │ ─── │ Pasture │ ─── │ Stables │ ─── │ Racetrack │ └───────────────────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └───────────┘ │ │ │ ┌─────────┐ │ Vet │ └─────────┘ ```
