Hello Ivan,
Thanks for bringing Graphviz to Haskell, and for your continuing dedication to making it more complete!
I just tried Graphvis for the first time a few days ago. I regretted the absence of example code, especially as the API has been evolving, so that examples on the Web do not generally work without change.
I see that the inclusion of QuickStart-style documentation is on your short-term list of milestones. I suppose an example program is not quite that, but it might help. Do you have something along these lines? Or, if not, if I managed to put something together which exercises a good cross-section of the features, do you think you could include it with the next release? I suppose there's a trade-off between ease of maintaining the code through releases, and feature coverage of the example(s)...
Well, one reason I haven't included anything like that is because I'm not sure what to write, or where to put it! If you're using FGL graphs, you probably want [graphToDot]; otherwise, [graphElemsToDot] might do what you want (for which I've written an [example], which is also linked to from the [FAQ]).
