Method ToDot

ToDot<T>(FST<T>, TextWriter, Boolean, Boolean)

Dumps an FST<T> to a GraphViz's dot language description for visualization. Example of use:

using (TextWriter sw = new StreamWriter("out.dot"))
{
    Util.ToDot(fst, sw, true, true);
}

and then, from command line:

dot -Tpng -o out.png out.dot

Note: larger FSTs (a few thousand nodes) won't even render, don't bother. If the FST is > 2.1 GB in size then this method will throw strange exceptions.

Declaration
public static void ToDot<T>(FST<T> fst, TextWriter out, bool sameRank, bool labelStates)
Parameters
Type Name Description
FST<T> fst
TextWriter out
System.Boolean sameRank

If true, the resulting dot file will try to order states in layers of breadth-first traversal. This may mess up arcs, but makes the output FST's structure a bit clearer.
System.Boolean labelStates

If true states will have labels equal to their offsets in their binary format. Expands the graph considerably.
Type Parameters
