VT100

Terminal-based graph output

Since Graphviz 9.0.0, on non-Windows platforms the VT100 formats are available to generate output in a style for consumption by a VT100-like terminal:

  • vt: 2-pixels-per-terminal-cell in 3-bit color
  • vt-24bit: 2-pixels-per-terminal-cell in 24-bit color
  • vt-4up: 4-pixels-per-terminal-cell in monochrome
  • vt-6up: 6-pixels-per-terminal-cell in monochrome
  • vt-8up: 8-pixels-per-terminal-cell in monochrome

These formats use UTF-8 characters for representing pixels, and thus assume a UTF-8-capable terminal and locale.
