using grapviz

Hi,

anyone aware of a premade graphviz directive i can use?
google didn't yield anything usable other than something tightly 
integrated with sphinx.

The graphviz directive in docutils is fairly portable. It may need a 
little refactoring.

Sorry, I meant "in rst2pdf".

Is it documented somewhere?

Forget it, I remembered the code wrong.

The sphinx directive generates a custom node, and rst2pdf only has a way 
to handle the node.
The "right" way to implement a graphviz directive would be (I believe) 
to make it just generate a figure
with the rendered image in it, so it doesn't need to be reimplemented 
for every output format.

it needs reimplementation for different output formats anyway,
for a pdf or tex one needs a different output than for a website

btw, i checked out rst2pdf, the output quality seems not that good
cant use it for my thesis if its like that

also it doesnt seem to have a good way to make a custom title page 
(which is required)

same goes for control of page numering syles

It's probably using PNG, and you need to tweak it to use PDF output from 
graphviz.
I have not used it much myself, I just wrote it ;-)

Actually, you can do anything for a title page. You could have a SVG as

Re: using grapviz


You can use these options in the sphinx configuration file:

# If false, no coverpage is generated.
#pdf_use_coverpage = True

# Name of the cover page template to use
#pdf_cover_template = 'sphinxcover.tmpl'


The templace can do anything, like setting a SVG as background and
nothing else :-)

im not using sphinx for my thesis, should i - and why?

whats supposed to go into the template btw (i have literaly no idea)


I don't know if you should or not, it's your call :-)

If you don't use it, you can use rst2pdf's option:

--custom-cover=FILE
  Template file used for the cover page. Default: cover.tmpl

That is a Jinja template that generates restructured text, but here's a basic example:
