Your last example can be made more concise (and more readable IMHO):

     "EH" -> {"BT", "BFR", "BTOW", "PSNB", "GCD"}
     "BFR" -> "BPB"
     "BPB" -> {"GTS", "GCG"}
     "PSNB" -> "BGB"
     "BGB" -> "GTS"
     "PSNB" -> "BEC"
     "BGB" -> "GCG"
     "BEC" -> "GCG"

I frequently make use of http://viz-js.com/ so I can generate dot graphs without needing to install GraphViz.

I built a tool for generating graphviz graphs at http://dottask.mattboehm.rocks .

Once you get used to the controls, it's very quick and has a ton of useful features (including export to dot so that you can further customize things.)

Perhaps someone will find this old-ish project of mine[1] useful. It automatically generates graphs using Graphviz based on Taskwarrior queries, which makes it considerably easier to manage and filter task lists.

I never comment on HN but your comment was so helpful to me I just had to say thanks. So thanks!

I love Graphviz but hate the Dot language with a passion. Has anyone tried to come up with a more consistent and user-friendly graph definition language?

Check out mermaid.

Thanks. That looks like just what I need to create class and sequence diagrams in a version control-friendly manner.
