Converting dot to png in python

Question

I have a dot file generated from my code and want to render it in my output. For this i have seen on the net that the command is something like this on cmd

Answer 1

Load the file with pydot.graph_from_dot_file to get a pydot.Dot class instance. Then write it to a PNG file with the write_png method.

import pydot

(graph,) = pydot.graph_from_dot_file('somefile.dot')
graph.write_png('somefile.png')
