Re: Visualizing a dependency graph in a web page

I you just want a static image I'd use GraphViz2 and let graphviz do the heavy lifting. If you want something you can interact with then d3 or vega would be the things to peek at (the latter may have something close to off the shelf, the former you might need to do more yourself but may wind up being more flexible).

I'd just add that if you make a Graph object you can give it to `$gv = GraphViz2->from_graph($g)` then produce an SVG from that with `$gv->run(output_file => 'out.svg')`. See https://metacpan.org/pod/GraphViz2#from_graph for more.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks, I'll take a look into it. > I you just want a static image I'd use GraphViz2 and let graphviz do the heavy lifting. no, but I need a start that can be manually adjusted. And AFAIK it's possible to export coordinates with graphviz. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Definitely could ask `dot` to spit out things as an SVG or JSON which you then could instrument / manipulate with d3 or vega. Edit: also WRT node shapes mentioned elsewhere: you should be able to specify `shape => "whatever"` in the `add_node` call and pick a value from the supported shape tags. The cake is a lie.
