c# - 在C#中从.dot文件创建图像

我正在建立一个.dot文件来表示有向无环图。

我需要从这个graph.dot文件生成图像(使用C#)，以便可以在应用程序的图片框中显示该图像。我应该使用哪个库？

在命令提示符下使用GraphViz的命令:

dot -Tpng graph.dot -o graph.png

我能够生成良好的图像，所以我知道我的.dot文件的格式是正确的。

谢谢你。

最佳答案

谢谢@marapet，让我指出了David Brown的项目。

我已在以下位置下载了示例:David Brown's Implicit Operator

该示例运行良好。

我将所需的代码复制到了我的项目中。我必须将.NET Target Framework从4.0更改为3.5，但这不是问题。

到目前为止，代码从未崩溃过。 (即使其他人已经报告了问题。)

更新

大卫·布朗(David Brown)的网站似乎已关闭，因此我用我从网站上获取的代码更新了此答案。
