# dot
circo, fdp, neato, osage, patchwork, sfdp, twopi: add page (#6284) * dot: prepare to add all graphviz layout engines These changes are in preparation for adding commands: `neato`, `circo`, `twopi`, `pfd`, `spfd`, `osage` and `patchwork`, which use the same command syntax. This one is to argue over before posting the other seven that are generated from the same template. Changes: - use `gv` extension, not `dot`. Author uses `gv`. - link to command usage guide page - specify the type of layout in the description (varies) - use `input` and `image` not `file` or `out_file` - provide a list of available image formats - show how to use the engine as a filter - give the help command * dot: add link angle-brackets * Added a static list of layout engines as line 2 of description. * dot: Accept suggestion to highlight graph type with back-quotes. * Fix back-quotes around `png`. * circo, fdp, neato, osage, patchwork, sfdp, twopi : add pages See #6270, #2580. This pull-request contains the other seven graphviz layout commands in addition to `dot`, which is awaiting approval at #6270. These files are generated from the same template as `dot.md` there. The eight commands differ in the command name, description line and the content of the `echo` command in one example. (If any more changes are required, I will regenerate all the files together.) * gv layouts: space after flags. -o versus -O. 80 char 2nd line. * dot: remove back-quotes from stdin, stdout to match tldr usage. * graphviz layouts : use https not http. * graphviz layouts : use {{png}} {{svg}} and {{gif}} as requested.
