Graphviz v0.13 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-09-09 // over 4 years ago
  • ➕ Add explicit support for layout engine escape sequences such as \l and \N. These already worked implicitly before but where broken by backslash 🚀 escaping in 0.12, which is reverted by this release. Escaping now resembles the stdlib re module: literal backslashes need to be escaped (doubled), which is most conveniently done by using raw string literals for strings that 👉 use escape sequences (including escaped backslashes), e.g. label=r'\\'.

    ➕ Add escape() function (resembling re.escape()) for disabling all meta-characters in a string for rendering.

    🌲 Use logging in example notebook, add notebooks demonstrating layout engines ✅ and escape sequence usage, improve tests with parametrization.
