- Generate a graph to `pw.dot` file:
`pw-dot`
- Read objects from `pw-dump` JSON file:
`pw-dot {{-j|--json}} {{path/to/file.json}}`
- Specify an [o]utput file, showing [a]ll object types:
`pw-dot --output {{path/to/file.dot}} {{-a|--all}}`
- Print `.dot` graph to `stdout`, showing all object properties:
`pw-dot --output - {{-d|--detail}}`
- Generate a graph from a [r]emote instance, showing only linked objects:
`pw-dot --remote {{remote_name}} {{-s|--smart}}`
- Lay the graph from [l]eft to [r]ight, instead of dot's default top to bottom:
`pw-dot {{-L|--lr}}`
- Lay the graph using 90-degree angles in edges:
`pw-dot {{-9|--90}}`
- Display help:
`pw-dot --help`
