neato: Render a `svg` image with the specified output filename (lowercase -o).
$ neato -T ${svg} -o ${path-to-image-svg} ${path-to-input-gv}
try on your machine

This command is used to execute the "neato" command-line tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "neato" is the command to be executed.
  • "-T" flag specifies the output format of the command.
  • "${svg}" is a placeholder representing the desired output format, which in this case is an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file. It could be replaced with a specific SVG format, such as "svgz" for compressed SVG.
  • "-o" flag specifies the output file destination.
  • "${path-to-image-svg}" is a placeholder representing the path and filename where the resulting SVG image should be saved. It could be replaced with an actual file path and name.
  • "${path-to-input-gv}" is a placeholder representing the path and filename of the input Graphviz dot file (with a ".gv" extension) that should be used as the source for the command. It could be replaced with an actual file path and name.

In summary, the command is instructing the "neato" tool to convert a Graphviz dot file to an SVG image, with the resulting SVG file saved at the specified location.
