I've started playing around with DGML for visualizing directed graphs based on some manufauctring process flow data. It works slicker than proverbial snot and is quite easy to generate.
The only problem is that the only DGML viewer I can find is VS.NET 2010. It appears that the viewer is built on MSAGL, but even that doesn't appear to support DGML directly.
Does a standalone DGML viewer exist? Preferably as an embeddable component. Even more preferably as WPF.
There is a DGML Viewer in Visual Studio 2019. You can install it via Visual Studio Installer. Just open Visual Studio Installer, click on Modify, select Individual Components, Code Tools, DGML Editor.
Directed Graph Markup Language (DGML) describes information used for visualization and to perform complexity analysis, and is the format used to persist code maps in Visual Studio. It uses simple XML to describe both cyclical and acyclic directed graphs.
The DGML Editor was not available in Visual Studio 2017 by default so I could not see DGML files visually and only saw them in the xml format. I had to fix this by explicitly installing the DGML editor. Please install it as such: (Tools > Get tools and features... > Individual Component > Code tools > DGML Editor)
