xdot
====
The main function of this package is `parse`.
It parses node/edge attributes on graphviz graphs created by [`xdot`](https://graphviz.org/docs/attr-types/xdot/) into drawable shapes.
```rust
use xdot::{parse, ShapeDraw};
let shapes: Vec<ShapeDraw> = parse("c 7 -#ff0000 p 4 4 4 36 4 36 36 4 36");
```
Each `ShapeDraw` struct contains a `shape` with geometry and a `pen` with drawing attributes (such as color, line style, and font).
If you have the `layout` feature active, you can also use `layout_and_draw_graph` (and `draw_graph`):
```rust
use graphviz_rust::parse;
use graphviz_rust::dot_structures::Graph;
use xdot::{layout_and_draw_graph, ShapeDraw};
let graph: Graph = parse("graph { a -- b}").unwrap();
let shapes: Vec<ShapeDraw> = layout_and_draw_graph(graph).unwrap();
```
Release process
---------------
1. A commit to `main` causes creation or update of a release PR. ([`release` workflow](https://github.com/flying-sheep/xdot-rust/actions/workflows/release.yml))
2. Merging a release PR causes the creation of a Git tag and GitHub release, and the upload of a Rust crate to [crates.io](https://crates.io).(also `release` workflow)
3. Publishing this GitHub release in turn triggers building and uploading a Python package. ([`publish` workflow](https://github.com/flying-sheep/xdot-rust/actions/workflows/publish.yml))
