Converting dot to png in python

Question

I have a dot file generated from my code and want to render it in my output. For this i have seen on the net that the command is something like this on cmd

Answer 1

pydot needs the GraphViz binaries to be installed anyway, so if you've already generated your dot file you might as well just invoke dot directly yourself. For example:

from subprocess import check_call
check_call(['dot','-Tpng','InputFile.dot','-o','OutputFile.png'])
