Draw a graph with Graphviz (WinGraphviz - C# .NET Framework 4)

/*Draw a graph described by a string writed in the dot's syntax of Graphviz NOTE: Open Visual Studio as Administrator*/ public static Image drawGraph(String graph_in_DOT) { WINGRAPHVIZLib.DOT dot = new WINGRAPHVIZLib.DOT(); WINGRAPHVIZLib.BinaryImage img = dot.ToPNG(graph_in_DOT); byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(img.ToBase64String()); MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length); ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length); Image image = Image.FromStream(ms, true); return image; }
This snippet return a Image object (for uses at a PictureBox control in a Form).
For correct functioning is necessary:
Install Graphviz ( http://graphviz.org/Download_windows.php)
Install WinGraphviz ( http://wingraphviz.sourceforge.net/wingraphviz/)
Import the reference to dll file at the project in Visual Studio (C:\Program Files (x86)\WinGraphviz\WinGraphviz.dll)
Add the using statement to the class for using the WinGraphviz components (using WINGRAPHVIZLib;).
