You define your graph as a JSON-like dictionary with node and edge lists, then call render() to get a text representation with box-drawing characters, optional labels, and color themes. It's designed for visualizing workflows, agent pipelines, and decision trees in the terminal without requiring external graphing libraries.\n\nThe package includes a CLI tool for rendering graphs from JSON files, supports nested subgraphs and node descriptions, and offers ten built-in color themes (monokai, ocean, dracula, nord, and others). It uses a custom Sugiyama-style layout engine and is optimized for fast rendering\u2014the benchmarks show typical graphs render in under a millisecond.","worth_installing":"Yes. graphtty is a lightweight, dependency-free tool for terminal graph visualization with active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to display directed graphs in the terminal\u2014it's particularly useful for agent workflows and CLI-based tools. The early version number (0.1.8) suggests the API may evolve, so pin the version if stability is critical."},"id":"graphtty","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graphtty","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/graphtty.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/graphtty/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-15","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"graphtty","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Turn any directed graph into colored ASCII art for your terminal"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":404924,"position":6910,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.8"}
