colorize edges of a graph layout to clarify crossing edges | edgepaint cheat-sheet

Colorize edges of a graph layout to clarify crossing edges.

Colorize edges of one or more graph layouts (that already have layout information) to clarify crossing edges:

edgepaint path/to/layout1.gv path/to/layout2.gv ... > path/to/output.gv

Colorize edges using a color scheme. (See https://graphviz.org/doc/info/colors.html#brewer ):

edgepaint -color-scheme=accent7 path/to/layout.gv > path/to/output.gv

Lay out a graph and colorize its edges, then convert to a PNG image:

dot path/to/input.gv | edgepaint | dot -T png > path/to/output.png
