This is a beautiful thing. D3 can do a lot but very few programs have replicated what graphviz's dot can do.

Nice work!

I needed to use something to render directed graph in the browser and the biggest problem was the download size.

This library is 851KB gzip, which is way better than the 1.3MB I was using.

Maybe being able to bundle the engines (and output format) as separate modules could reduce its size?

So once again, great work!

Seems much like this: http://cpettitt.github.io/project/dagre-d3/latest/demo/inter... what are the differences?

I just implemented directed graphs with cytoscape.js and it was fairly straightforward.

So far it seems like dagre-d3 is the best option for those that want directed graphs to be automatically redrawn (with transitions) based off of user input. I'm continually looking for better options, though.
