Function: getDrawOps()

function getDrawOps(g: Graph, opts?: DrawOpsOptions): XdotOp[];

Defined in: render/xdot-public.ts:161

Lay out g, render to xdot, parse every draw-attribute stream, and return all ops as a flat XdotOp[] in paint order (graph → node → edge).

Consumers discriminate on the kind field of the XdotOp union — no string parsing required.

Parameters

g

Graph

A Graph from parse() or the builder API.

opts?

DrawOpsOptions

Optional: { engine } overrides the default 'dot'.

Returns

XdotOp[]

Flat typed draw-op array covering the full graph.

Throws

ParseError if the xdot DOT output cannot be re-parsed.

Throws

RenderError if layout or rendering fails.

Example

import { parse } from '@knowvah/dot-engine';
import { getDrawOps } from '@knowvah/dot-engine/render';

const g = parse('digraph { a -> b; }');
for (const op of getDrawOps(g)) {
  switch (op.kind) {
    case 'filled_ellipse':
    case 'unfilled_ellipse':
      drawEllipse(op.ellipse);
      break;
    case 'text':
      drawText(op.text);
      break;
    // ...handle the remaining XdotOp kinds
  }
}
