In the late 1960’s an American company named Bedford Associates released a computing device they called the MODICON. The History of Programmable Logic Controllers Instead, digital computers fill the need, which may be programmed to do a variety of logical functions. Systems and processes requiring “on/off” control abound in modern commerce and industry, but such control systems are rarely built from either electromechanical relays or discrete logic gates. Relays are far from obsolete in modern design, but have been replaced in many of their former roles as logic-level control devices, relegated most often to those applications demanding high current and/or high voltage switching. You can report or view Graphviz bugs and issues by visiting the Graphviz Issues page.Before the advent of solid-state logic circuits, logical control systems were designed and built exclusively around electromechanical relays. You can post questions and comments in the Graphviz forum.


The current release of Graphviz can be downloaded here: Downloadĭocumentation is available in the released package and from here: Documentation Discussions Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes. The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in useful formats, such as images and SVG for web pages PDF or Postscript for inclusion in other documents or display in an interactive graph browser. It has important applications in networking, bioinformatics, software engineering, database and web design, machine learning, and in visual interfaces for other technical domains. Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Graphviz is open source graph visualization software.
