gviz is a Flutter/Dart package that provides an object-oriented API for creating Graphviz-directed graphs. It simplifies the generation of visual graph structures by allowing developers to define nodes, edges, and graph attributes programmatically. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter applications across multiple platforms, enabling dynamic visualization of hierarchical or flow-based data. It's ideal for representing relationships in software architecture, state machines, or dependency trees. With support for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Web, and Windows, gviz ensures broad compatibility. Its clean, intuitive interface makes it accessible for both beginners and experienced developers.
