QVPR as a directed graph

It takes 11 clicks to get QEMC open the “indented” task dependency. And you still don’t see it properly ..



Wouldn’t a directed graph be easier to understand?

The one bellow is made by extracting task dependencies from Trigger.xml , task names from ExternalProgramTask.XML, PauseTask.xml, DocumentTask.xml; document names from Sourcedocument.xml; categories from Category.xml . Rendering with Graphviz .

It looks as there are 3 reload tasks for same document. Adding also source document confirms it.




Tasks bellow do the same thing. It is easier to replace two external tasks with one (and make the calls from the batch file)

Adding the source documents will not create a mess.

Could you tell me how exactly use Graphviz to render the QVPR Task Dependencies directed graph? Thanks.
