Graphviz. Simple solution for recreating graphics

This is the first article that I publish in English, the main reason to do it is because all the documentation related to context maps that I have found so far, are related in English and obviously my way to contribute to the extensive Internet community, is to do it in a universal language, at least for this article.

Well, today I want to talk about two utilities that have helped me a lot, one of them is graphviz.org. Graphviz, which has versions for Windows, Mac or Linux (in my case I have tried in Linux and Mac OS), is a powerful Open Source tool that allows to easily generate almost any graphic, cool stuff like this:

Or simpler things than recreating a binary tree that I explained in the previous section, https://www.larebelion.com/2020/04/arboles-binarios.html. 

Imagine that in code C, you want to represent the resulting binary tree, with few lines of code you could get something like this:

Let me a simple C function to add to the previous tree and generate this:

static void _generating_graphviz_details(const tree_t node, const void *extra)
{
 FILE *f = (FILE *) extra;

 fprintf(f, " node_%p [label=\"{%p | content: %d | { <izqda> %p | <dcha> %p}\"];\n",
  node, node, node->content, node->left, node->right
 );
 if (node->left != NULL) {
  fprintf(f, " node_%p:left -> node_%p;\n", node, node->left);
 }
 if (node->right != NULL) {
  fprintf(f, " node_%p:dcha -> node_%p;\n", node, node->dcha);
 }
 fprintf(f, "f");
}

Okay, hopefully this tiny contribution will help you in the dynamic generation of your graphics.
