Convert graphviz (dot) files to draw.io / lucid (mxGraph) format. Beautiful and editable graphs in your favorite editor.

graphviz2drawio can be installed with Homebrew:

brew install graphviz2drawio

It is recommended to use pipx to install and run the CLI tool. If you wish to use the library, you can install with pip instead.

Note that the graphviz library is required before installing this package.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipx graphviz graphviz-dev
pipx install graphviz2drawio
# To update: pipx upgrade graphviz2drawio

sudo dnf install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install graphviz2drawio
# To update: pipx upgrade graphviz2drawio

conda install conda-forge::graphviz2drawio

Run the conversion app on your graphviz file. For example, the command below will create converted files example1.xml and example2.xml.

graphviz2drawio example1.dot example2.dot

Alternatively, you can specify the output file (but only if there is a single input file)

graphviz2drawio example.dot -o /path/to/somewhere/new_name.xml

Output can also be sent to stdout by using the --stdout flag.

Graphs can be piped in from stdin and sent to stdout (default) or to a file with -o ....

from graphviz2drawio import graphviz2drawio
graph_to_convert = ...
xml = graphviz2drawio.convert(graph_to_convert)
print(xml)

where graph_to_convert can be any of a file path, file handle, string of dot language, or PyGraphviz.AGraph object

• PyGraphviz - Python interface to Graphviz
• svg.path - SVG path objects and parser
