"/usr/bin/dot -Tpng,/run/user/1000/snap.obsidian/tmp-22262-UjL2HCdRHDQr" failed, Error: spawn /usr/bin/dot ENOENT

Also get this if just using dot. Running latest Obsidian snap on Ubuntu 18.04. If I run dot on that file from the command line, without the comma in between png & /run/user/1000/..... it works just fine. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have about 15 graphs in my note and some of them don't render

When I open and close the code block they render again normally for some time, then break again.
I am using obsidian-columns plugin, maybe that will help

Thanks for the plugin,
I would like to use graphviz but dot for the code block. It has no effect if the change the option.

Thanks.

I think this drawing method can be an alternative for the current graphing method that does not have any hierarchy in the relations and cannot be organized in a useful way, they just look nice but cannot be grasped in very populated notes

It would be nice if you would pass the current obsidian theme (background color, text color, etc.) into graphviz so that the generated images will integrate nicely into obsidian.

I would be open to make a PR after familiarizing myself with the code if this is of interest

Apparently, there's an extra comma character , added into the command issued via the dot command within MacOS. The error reads:

"dot -Tpng,/var/folders/to/temporary/text/file" failed, Error: spawn dot ENOENT

Instead of [space], a comma , is inserted between the option -Tpng and the path-to-tmp-file causing the error.

I tried to issue the appropriate command and was able to produce the appropriate file. A copy-paste of the same command above results to an error with -Tpng,/var/folders... as an error flag options. The comma character seems to be considered by the dot as included in the whole options.

For reference, here are my technical details.

• dot version

dot - graphviz version 10.0.1 (20240210.2158)

• Obsidian version

Version 1.5.8 (Installer 1.5.3)

• MacOS

Macbook Air 23.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 23.3.0: Wed Dec 20 21:28:58 PST 2023;
root:xnu-10002.81.5~7/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Would love to output images as SVG files rather than PNG.

I'm on a mac running Monterey 12.2.1.

when render, it looks like this..

From the description it seems that only dot can be used. Is that correct?

Problems:

When the plugin render the dot code into graph, it cannot show non-ascii characters correctly.

Analysis:

I had get some error message by give wrong dot path and know that the plugin use -Tpng as render parameter, and according to this discussion, it might be a problem to show non-ascii charaters when convert to png format. .

Conclusion:

So I wondering, maybe offering a conversion type choice might be a good ide, or there might have some solution nowaday to render non-ascii characters correctly.

Hi,
Thank you so much for this great plugin. Unfortunately, it is not currently supported on iPad devices (an information message pops up stating iPad is not supported for this plugin when you try to activate the plugin), is it possible to fix this issue?
Best regards,
David

I installed the plugin in Obsidian and Graphviz on Windows 10 but I have no clue where to find the DOT file.

After being notified of an update, I attempted to update via the Community Plugin panel, and the update failed.

I uninstalled the plugin and attempted to install it, and the install failed.

Hi @QAMichaelPeng

Per our developer policies,
please ensure that your plugin's name does not include the word "Obsidian".
In addition, the plugin name should not include the word "Plugin", as that is unecessary duplication.
We have already modified the name of your plugin to "Graphviz" in our records.

To maintain compliance, take the following actions:

1. Modify the manifest.json file in your plugin repository.
2. Generate a new release for your plugin to ensure users download the updated manifest.

If you have a idea for a different plugin name, you may also submit a pull request to the obsidianmd/obsidian-releases repository.

Thank you for your cooperation.

It would be nice to be able to import existing .dot-Files like other images using the ![A graph](some.dot)-Syntax. This way we could render dot-graphs, even if they were generated from an external source, without the need to copy them into an md all the time they change, what is quite frequently in my use case.

As shown in the screenshot below, obsidian detects this new version of 1.0.4 but fails to install it.

N.B. this version 1.0.4 cannot be found in Releases : https://github.com/QAMichaelPeng/obsidian-graphviz/releases
