I installed the Graphviz GUI from pixelglow.com, but it appears to only be a viewer for .dot Graphviz files. I am looking for a graphical editor, where I can create diagrams by pointing and clicking--just like the iPhone app Instaviz.
I would rather not code graphs by hand.
Does anyone know of anything--preferably free?
I assume you mean pixelglow.com which is a nice implementation of graphviz, I believe it includes dotty. If dot writing isn't actually a requirement you might check out the following:
Omnigraffle is by far the best app on the Mac for making graphs but it cannot export back to dot, and is not free (but does have a 20 object free limitation).
Gliffy is also nice (webapp).
You can also try getting Dia from fink but YMMV
Graph Galaxy is a modern WYSIWYG editor for Graphviz.
You can use it to create a large graph without writing any source code. It has an intuitive and efficient user interface. One of the most powerful features is that it implements a full-featured attribute system to support the cascading style. That means it's easy to set the default attributes for graph components.
What you need is graphviz-visual-editor:
git clone https://github.com/magjac/graphviz-visual-editor
cd graphviz-visual-editor
npm install
make
npm run start
I really like Leonhard - but I've always found it difficult to find the app again. Hopefully putting the link here will help!
