Customizing output

You can print default theme with graphqlviz --print-theme > theme.json, then you can modify it, and pass with --theme theme.json argument. All the available colors can be found on the graphviz site.

Windows Users

Windows users looking use the dot command should download & install from the graphviz website and ensure the installation location is on the system PATH. It has been reported that, for at least some windows versions, the msi does not automatically add the installation to the PATH. Alternatively the executables can be invoked directly. The installation location will likely be similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\.
