graphviz svg output can be (with some tricks) CSS-styled + JS-animated, so the sky is the limit w.r.t. how fancy you want to make you DOT graphs, and their elements.



actually the effective limit seems to be around 50 nodes


Limit of what exactly? I've made much bigger than 50 nodes SVG-graphs using GV, and styled them with probably 50+ CSS styles and animated more than 50 nodes.

So, could you please elaborate?


sorry...I do language development sometimes and GV (dot) has been a godsend for debugging. but at a certain size it just goes sideways and stops being useful and is more of a distraction. to be fair I think this more of a fundamental problem about visual understanding than some screwup in GV


50 nodes may be close the limit of what a human can understand.
