+- Not every Attribute is fully documented/described.
+ However, all those which have specific allowed values should be covered.
+- Deprecated Attributes are not defined.
-I'm not in love with this API design. Will work on building an alternative and see how it goes
-Read https://graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html
+## Quickstart
-https://www.graphviz.org/pdf/dotguide.pdf \ No newline at end of file
+```rust
+use dotavious::{Dot, Edge, Graph, GraphBuilder, Node};
+use std::io;
+use std::io::Read;
+
+// can also start building a undirected graph via `GraphBuilder::new_undirected`
+let graph = GraphBuilder::new_directed(Some("example".to_string()))
+ .add_node(Node::new("N0".to_string()))
+ .add_node(Node::new("N1".to_string()))
+ .add_edge(Edge::new("N0".to_string(), "N1".to_string()))
+ .build()
+ .unwrap();
+
+let dot = Dot { graph };
+println!("{}", dot);
+```
+which produces
+```
+digraph example {
+ N0;
+ N1;
+ N0 -> N1;
+}
+```
+and when rendered will look like
