For those unfamiliar, there's alternatively a standard FOSS tool, graphviz, that's roughly equivalent to what these Wolfram examples do. It has a trivial syntax: this is a complete example that draws exactly what it says,<p><pre><code> digraph { a -> b -> c -> a }
</code></pre>
Here's minimal syntax for drawing directed graphs with image nodes, in the style the Wolfram example uses:<p><pre><code> digraph {
node [label="", style="none", shape="plaintext",
fixedsize="true", imagescale="false",
width=1.0, height=1.0]
copper_plate [image="Copper_plate.png"]
copper_cable [image="Copper_cable.png"]
copper_plate -> copper_cable [label=" 50 trillion"]
}</code></pre>
