Dot Lang Viewer: Convert and Preview 'dot lang' Files in Chrome
Dot Lang Viewer is a free Chrome extension developed by twinbird that allows users to convert and preview 'dot lang' files into PNG image graphs. This tool is particularly useful for those who are writing 'dot language' and need a quick preview of their work.
The extension automatically parses dot language files, also known as Graphviz files, and generates a visual representation in the form of a PNG image graph. This allows users to easily visualize their dot language code and make any necessary adjustments.
To use Dot Lang Viewer, simply install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, there is no new user interface to navigate. However, it is important to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" option in the chrome://extensions listing for the extension to function properly.
To preview a local dot-lang file in Chrome, open the file with the .viz extension. The extension will then generate a nicely formatted graph for easy viewing and analysis.
In addition to PNG image graphs, Dot Lang Viewer has recently added a new feature that allows users to export graphs in SVG format. This provides users with even more flexibility when working with their dot language files.
Overall, Dot Lang Viewer is a handy tool for anyone working with dot language files in Chrome. Its simple installation process and convenient previewing capabilities make it a valuable asset for developers, designers, and anyone else needing to visualize their dot language code.
