 Visualizations
================


Installation
============

To create state machine graphs you must install `automat` with the graphing dependencies.


.. code-block:: bash

    pip install automat[visualize]

To generate images, you will also need to install `Graphviz
<https://graphviz.org>`_ for your platform, such as with ``brew install
graphviz`` on macOS or ``apt install graphviz`` on Ubuntu.


Example
=======

If we put the garage door example from the tutorial into a file called ``garage_door.py``,

You can generate a state machine visualization by running:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ automat-visualize garage_door
    garage_door.machineFactory ...discovered
    garage_door.machineFactory ...wrote image and dot into .automat_visualize

The `dot` file and `png` will be saved in the default output directory, to the
file ``.automat_visualize/garage_door.machineFactory.dot.png`` .


.. image:: _static/garage_door.machineFactory.dot.png
   :alt: garage door state machine


``automat-visualize`` help
==========================

.. code-block:: bash

    $ automat-visualize -h
