Sketchviz – Graphviz graphs in a hand-drawn style

People who use Graphviz tend to know the basic Graphviz language, but, probably more importantly, it's easy for tools to generate it.

Absolutely this. If I'm making a diagram for a presentation I'm going to draw it manually so it looks just right. When we're debugging dataflow graphs with 4000 nodes, graphviz is the one and only.

Thanks! A lot of the good stuff (e.g. stress majorization and the Jaccard distance model stolen for neato -Gmodel=subset) was done in the 2000s. Probably people criticize because they see B&W graphics, Times-Roman and splines rendered 1pt wide and we didn't use XML or JSON.
