====== Visualize Dataflow Graph ======

The [[language:langs:dflow|dataflow sublanguage]] allows computations to be specified as dataflow graphs. It can be helpful to visualize these graphs when debugging a design. The ''dflow2dot'' tool can be used for this purpose. Its usage is:
<code>
$ dflow2dot -p top_level file.act
</code>
This will create a collection of [[https://graphviz.org/|graphviz]] format ''.dot'' files, one per expanded process. The names of the files will be ''procname.dot'', where ''procname'' is the [[intro_example:name_mangling|mangled]] process name.
