http -> path [label=">=0.9.0 <2.0.0",penwidth=2];
http -> stack_trace [label=">=0.9.1 <0.10.0",penwidth=2];
http -> unittest [label=">=0.9.0 <0.10.0",penwidth=2,style=dashed];

path [label="path
1.0.0",shape=box,margin="0.25,0.15",style=bold];

stack_trace [label="stack_trace
0.9.1",shape=box,margin="0.25,0.15",style=bold];

Generate PDF, PNG and other files #
GraphViz tool allows dot format to be converted to various types of outputs like PNG, PDF or SVG.
In order to export pubviz data to PNG file you need to install GraphViz package on your machine (see detailed installation instructions).
On macOS:
brew install graphviz

On Windows:
winget install graphviz

Then you can save the pubviz output to a file and convert it with dot command to desired output type, e.g.:
pubviz --format=dot print > output.dot
dot -Tpdf output.dot -o output.pdf

The full list of possible output types is available on the GraphViz website.
