Visualizing Graphs

[elymatos]

Hi team,
I'd like to thanks for the awesome job. As a matter of curiosity, because I want to use Infer.net to show models for students, I'd like to know if it is possible to generate visual graphs like that from Christopher Bishop presentations.
And I'd like to know how to use Microsoft.ML.Probabilistic.Visualizers.Windows (if it is possible).
Thanks,
Ely

This is all explained at Inference engine settings.

Thanks @tminka for the answer!
I was able to include the engine setting to generate the graph (as .dgml) for Tutorials/FirstExample, but when I put the same setting in Infer101/RunCyclingSamples, I'm receiving error message:

Problem with converting DOT to SVG
Exception message: "The system cannot find the file specified"
if "dot" program is not installed, install Graphviz
and add a path to "dot" to the PATH

I have the dot program in the PATH (and I can see a .gv in the graphs folder). But besides to correct the error, I'd like to understand why the program is not generating a .dgml file.
Thanks for help,
Ely

It does not generate a .dgml file because you are not using WindowsVisualizer. I have updated the documentation at the above link to clarify this.

Thank you very much, @tminka !

Hi Tom,

I'm struggling to get .dgml files generated. I'm using Visual Studio for Mac community. This is the error message I'm getting:

That makes sense since WindowsVisualizer does not work on Mac.
