I started using Graphviz about 20 years ago. It is a great tool. Weka sounds like something I need to investigate. My use case has always been games. But a scientist and a network engineer have adopted it after they saw what I was doing with it.

I'm here from Jacob Sorber's channel; he just used this in a video. I figured something like this existed, but had never really looked for it before. Wow! This is really cool! Very useful for a project I'm working on! Much thanks!
