http://askubuntu.com – I need to execute shell command in python program (I have ubuntu). More specifically I want to create graph using graphviz in python script. My code is os.system("dot -Tpng graph.dot -o graph.png") It does not work, but if I just type "dot -Tpng graph.dot -o graph.png" in command line then everything is fine. Do you know what the problem? Thank you! Edit: Does not work means that nothing happens, there are no errors. Output from "dot -v -Tpng graph.dot -o graph.png" dot - graphviz version 2.26.3 (20100126.1600) Activated plugin library: libgvplugin_pango.so.6 Using textlayout: textlay (HowTos)

In my ubuntu 12.04, the graphviz is not the latest version(2.29). I need some features available in the latest version of graphviz. I tried to install the graphviz version 2.29, which requires libgraphviz4(>=2.18). I anyhow installed libgraphviz4 and installed graphviz 2.29.

Points not lining up 10 weeks 6 days ago

I'm trying to create a basic graph for my application, but I'm having a small issue with it. Presently, what happens is that my graph is generated as I'd hope, but when I go to graph my points inside of it, the points are always "off by 1", specifically, my point that should sit at spot 15 on the graph is displayed at 14.

Interesting. Looks like the Social Graph app on Facebook.If you're interested in other graph visualisation tools, you might wish to check out DOxygen.

Is there any good and fast alternative (paid/free) for generating graphs (i.e. like GraphViz) on Android?

I am in search for a library regarding stuff like graph theory not bar/pie charts etc..

When I used to go into Settings > About Phone > Battery Use, the graph there used to show me the change in battery for that one day.

However, since the past 18 days, the graph shows me a graph from all 18 days - i.e.
