pvl-dotview
Interactive Graphviz DOT file viewer. Drop a .dot file onto a blank window
and the graph is rendered as crisp, pannable, zoomable vector graphics
(via embedded Chromium / Qt WebEngine for browser-grade SVG fidelity). Open
additional windows with ⌘N (macOS) or Ctrl+N (Linux/Windows).
Install
pvl-dotview shells out to the dot binary at runtime, so Graphviz must be
installed system-wide before running.
As a tool (recommended for end users)
# macOS
brew install graphviz
uv tool install pvl-dotview
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install graphviz
uv tool install pvl-dotview
Then run pvl-dotview from any terminal.
From a checkout (for development)
brew install graphviz # or: apt install graphviz
uv sync
uv run pvl-dotview
