Use this mode for editing files in the dot-language, see https://www.graphviz.org. To use graphviz-dot-mode, add (use-package graphviz-dot-mode :ensure t) to your ~/.emacs.el file. The graphviz-dot-mode will do font locking, indentation, preview of graphs and eases compilation/error location. Font locking is automatic, indentation uses the same commands as other modes, tab, M-j and C-M-q. Insertion of comments uses the same commands as other modes, M-; . You can compile a file using M-x compile or C-c C- c, after that M-x next-error will also work. There is support for viewing an generated image with C-c C-p.
