With this Java class you can simply call dot from your Java programs. It is made to facilitate the usage of GraphViz in your Java programs.

Example

Check out the file Proba.java to see how to use this simple API.

How to compile the sources in command-line

You can use maven. The output will appear in the target/ folder.

$ mvn package

Or, you can use SCons. The output will appear in the bin/ folder.

$ scons

How to launch the example from command-line

If you used SCons for instance, then

$ java -cp bin/ com/github/jabbalaci/graphviz/Proba

It prints a dot source to the stdout, and creates its corresponding GIF representation in your temp folder.
