smart-answers: Visualising flows
To see an interactive visualisation of a smart answer flow, append /y/visualise
to the root of a smart answer URL e.g. http://smart-answers.dev.gov.uk/<smart-answer>/y/visualise
or https://www.gov.uk/<smart-answer>/y/visualise
To see a static visualisation of a smart answer flow, using Graphviz:
# Download graphviz representation
$ curl https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/visualise.gv --silent > /tmp/check-uk-visa.gv
# Use Graphviz to generate a PNG
$ dot /tmp/check-uk-visa.gv -Tpng > /tmp/check-uk-visa.png
# Open the PNG
$ open /tmp/check-uk-visa.png
NOTE. This assumes you already have Graphviz installed. You can install it using Homebrew on a Mac (brew install graphviz
).
