gv_php - graph manipulation in php
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/php
<?
include('libgv-php5/gv.php');
...

USAGE
INTRODUCTION
gv_php is a dynamically loaded extension for php that provides access to the graph
facilities of graphviz.
COMMANDS
New graphs
New empty graph
graph_handle gv::graph (name);
graph_handle gv::digraph (name);
graph_handle gv::strictgraph (name);
graph_handle gv::strictdigraph (name);
New graph from a dot-syntax string or file
graph_handle gv::readstring (string);
graph_handle gv::read (string filename);
graph_handle gv::read (channel);
Add new subgraph to existing graph
graph_handle gv::graph (graph_handle, name);
New nodes
Add new node to existing graph
node_handle gv::node (graph_handle, name);
New edges
Add new edge between existing nodes
edge_handle gv::edge (tail_node_handle, head_node_handle);
Add a new edge between an existing tail node, and a named head node which will be induced
in the graph if it doesn't already exist
edge_handle gv::edge (tail_node_handle, head_name);
Add a new edge between an existing head node, and a named tail node which will be induced
in the graph if it doesn't already exist
edge_handle gv::edge (tail_name, head_node_handle);
Add a new edge between named tail and head nodes which will be induced in the graph if
they don't already exist
edge_handle gv::edge (graph_handle, tail_name, head_name);
Setting attribute values
Set value of named attribute of graph/node/edge - creating attribute if necessary
string gv::setv (graph_handle, attr_name, attr_value);
string gv::setv (node_handle, attr_name, attr_value);
string gv::setv (edge_handle, attr_name, attr_value);
Set value of existing attribute of graph/node/edge (using attribute handle)
string gv::setv (graph_handle, attr_handle, attr_value);
string gv::setv (node_handle, attr_handle, attr_value);
string gv::setv (edge_handle, attr_handle, attr_value);
Getting attribute values
Get value of named attribute of graph/node/edge
string gv::getv (graph_handle, attr_name);
string gv::getv (node_handle, attr_name);
string gv::getv (edge_handle, attr_name);
Get value of attribute of graph/node/edge (using attribute handle)
string gv::getv (graph_handle, attr_handle);
string gv::getv (node_handle, attr_handle);
string gv::getv (edge_handle, attr_handle);
Obtain names from handles
string gv::nameof (graph_handle);
string gv::nameof (node_handle);
string gv::nameof (attr_handle);
Find handles from names
graph_handle gv::findsubg (graph_handle, name);
node_handle gv::findnode (graph_handle, name);
edge_handle gv::findedge (tail_node_handle, head_node_handle);
attribute_handle gv::findattr (graph_handle, name);
attribute_handle gv::findattr (node_handle, name);
attribute_handle gv::findattr (edge_handle, name);
Misc graph navigators returning handles
node_handle gv::headof (edge_handle);
node_handle gv::tailof (edge_handle);
graph_handle gv::graphof (graph_handle);
graph_handle gv::graphof (edge_handle);
graph_handle gv::graphof (node_handle);
graph_handle gv::rootof (graph_handle);
Obtain handles of proto node/edge for setting default attribute values
node_handle gv::protonode (graph_handle);
edge_handle gv::protoedge (graph_handle);
Iterators
Iteration termination tests
bool gv::ok (graph_handle);

bool gv::ok (attr_handle);
Iterate over subgraphs of a graph
graph_handle gv::firstsubg (graph_handle);
graph_handle gv::nextsubg (graph_handle, subgraph_handle);
Iterate over supergraphs of a graph (obscure and rarely useful)
graph_handle gv::firstsupg (graph_handle);
graph_handle gv::nextsupg (graph_handle, subgraph_handle);
Iterate over edges of a graph
edge_handle gv::firstedge (graph_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextedge (graph_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over outedges of a graph
edge_handle gv::firstout (graph_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextout (graph_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over edges of a node
edge_handle gv::firstedge (node_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextedge (node_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over out-edges of a node
edge_handle gv::firstout (node_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextout (node_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over head nodes reachable from out-edges of a node
node_handle gv::firsthead (node_handle);
node_handle gv::nexthead (node_handle, head_node_handle);
Iterate over in-edges of a graph
edge_handle gv::firstin (graph_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextin (node_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over in-edges of a node
edge_handle gv::firstin (node_handle);
edge_handle gv::nextin (graph_handle, edge_handle);
Iterate over tail nodes reachable from in-edges of a node
node_handle gv::firsttail (node_handle);
node_handle gv::nexttail (node_handle, tail_node_handle);
Iterate over nodes of a graph
node_handle gv::firstnode (graph_handle);
node_handle gv::nextnode (graph_handle, node_handle);
Iterate over nodes of an edge
node_handle gv::firstnode (edge_handle);
node_handle gv::nextnode (edge_handle, node_handle);
Iterate over attributes of a graph
attribute_handle gv::firstattr (graph_handle);
attribute_handle gv::nextattr (graph_handle, attr_handle);
Iterate over attributes of an edge
attribute_handle gv::firstattr (edge_handle);
attribute_handle gv::nextattr (edge_handle, attr_handle);
Iterate over attributes of a node
attribute_handle gv::firstattr (node_handle);
attribute_handle gv::nextattr (node_handle, attr_handle);
Remove graph objects
bool gv::rm (graph_handle);
bool gv::rm (node_handle);
bool gv::rm (edge_handle);
Layout
Annotate a graph with layout attributes and values using a specific layout engine
bool gv::layout (graph_handle, string engine);
Render
Render a layout into attributes of the graph
bool gv::render (graph_handle);
Render a layout to stdout
bool gv::render (graph_handle, string format);
Render to an open file
bool gv::render (graph_handle, string format, channel fout);
Render a layout to an unopened file by name
bool gv::render (graph_handle, string format, string filename);
Render to a string result
string gv::renderresult (graph_handle ing, string format);
gv::renderresult (graph_handle, string format, string outdata);
Render to an open channel
bool gv::renderchannel (graph_handle, string format, string channelname);
Render a layout to a malloc'ed string, to be free'd by the caller
(deprecated - too easy to leak memory)
(still needed for "eval [gv::renderdata $G tk]" )
string gv::renderdata (graph_handle, string format);
Writing graph back to file
bool gv::write (graph_handle, string filename);
bool gv::write (graph_handle, channel);
