Working with graphs, I realized its hard to generate dynamic ones and you inevitably end up with domain specific layouts. I guess thats the nature of graph drawing algorithms, its usually specific to the problem.

Thanks for the code, taking at look at that.

Probably too messy to understand what's exactly happening -- but my main takeaway is that if you implement your own DSL (for Graphviz at least), implement in such a way that you can freely mix DSL and raw bits. That way it's very easy to experiment or tweak minor bits without rewriting half of the code.
