Helps you visualise your Sceptre projects with Graphviz (DOT). Get started by running `pip install sceptre-dot`

# Benefits

- Visualisation can be added as a documentation artefact to your project

- Having many explicit/implicit dependencies can slow down deployments. Use the generated dependency graph to quickly spot bottlenecks due to these dependencies. 

# Installation

Install graphviz for your operating system as per [official instuctions](https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/).

Install this package in the same python interpreter (virtualenv) that Sceptre is installed so that its python library is already available:

`pip install sceptre-dot`

# Usage

In the same directory where you would normally invoke `sceptre launch -y $YOUR_PATH`, run: 

```bash

sceptre-dot $YOUR_PATH > output.dot

fdp -Tpng output.dot -o output.png # use fdp engine for best results

```

If you can't or don't want to install graphviz, you can paste the outputted dot file in an online viewer like [viz-js](http://viz-js.com/). (Be sure to choose the **fdp** engine)
