I love how easy GraphViz makes it to build integrations on top of it. In a similar way to this usecase, I created interactive RNN visualizations for a WIP blog post by generating the layout with GraphViz and then rendering it in the browser with D3: https://rnn-temp.ameo.design/loadWeights.html All the hard work like edge spline generation with bezier curves, node sizing and placement, edge label placement, etc. is t…

Are you doing the edge splines and Bézier curves from graphviz?

yep!
