circo: Render a `png` image with a filename based on the input filename and output format (uppercase -O).
$ circo -T ${png} -O ${path-to-input-gv}
try on your machine
This command is using the "circo" program to visualize a graph specified in a Graphviz (.gv) file and save the output as a PNG image file.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
circo
is the name of the program that will be executed. Circo is a graph layout engine provided by Graphviz.-T ${png}
is an option to specify the output format. In this case, it indicates that the output should be in PNG format.${png}
is likely a placeholder for a variable that holds the desired file name for the output PNG file.-O ${path-to-input-gv}
is an option to specify the input Graphviz file.${path-to-input-gv}
is another placeholder for a variable that holds the path to the actual Graphviz file.
In summary, this command runs the "circo" program, reads the input Graphviz file, lays out the graph using the circular layout (circo), and then saves the resulting visualization as a PNG image file. The specific output file name and input file path are likely provided using variables.
