Gradients about viz-js HOT 5 CLOSED

As far as I can tell, gradients don't work at present. I will keep this in mind for the future, however.

I tried one of the gradient examples in the Graphviz gallery and looked at the generated SVG, and it appears that colorLists are not handled -- they just appear in the SVG as "red:blue" or similar.

Can you get any of the gradient examples on the Graphviz site to work using the dot command?

There is a post on stack overflow stating this feature was only added early this year (in January), and that it should be in the 2.30 version... I guess you won't add it until the 2.30 comes out then.

I'm not used to the graphviz toolkit. I was looking at a js library to do some graphing and found out graphviz linux commands were ported and the examples were what I wanted to achieve. I didn't know until now that gradients were new in the graphviz engine.

and looking at the dev sources, they are at version 2.29 and last changes (in the dev source folder) were made a week ago ... Maybe I'll give it a try to compile it myself and see if it works on a separate branch

If compiling 2.29 doesn't work, it might be possible to add gradients to an SVG element via the DOM or even with CSS -- but I haven't tried that. You might also be able to parse the "plain" output and use it as drawing instructions for another graphics library.

Viz.js now uses Graphviz 2.38.0, which supports gradients.
