% TODO % Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Future Plans for graphviz ========================= This is a list of planned feature improvements to graphviz along with an indication of when it's likely to be implemented (note that these time scales are in relation to releases, not actual time; however, it is quite possible that the order will not be adhered to). Short term ---------- * Quickstart-style documentation to help users get going with graphviz quickly. * Add nicer syntax for record labels, and specifying ports in Monadic Dot graphs. * Define new classes to distinguish between printing/parsing Attribute values and other values (as only the former requires quoted variants). * Clean up AttributeGenerator and get it to use a better pretty-printing library. Medium term ----------- * Improve the test suite such that the generated `DotGraph` values are valid (and thus can be passed to Graphviz proper). This may not in fact be possible as guaranteeing an arbitrary `Attribute` is valid is rather tricky (as the value itself needs to be verified, especially stateful ones). * Switch to a proper test-suite library rather than the hand-rolled one currently being used. * Add support for clusters as endpoints of edges. Long term --------- * Allow usage of non-FGL graphs with graphviz. This will require implementing a separate library to represent graphs (see initial discussions about this [here](http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-June/063402.html)).
