module Workflow
  module Draw

    # Generates a `dot` graph of the workflow.
    # Prerequisite: the `dot` binary. (Download from http://www.graphviz.org/)
    # You can use this method in your own Rakefile like this:
    #
    #     namespace :doc do
    #       desc "Generate a workflow graph for a model passed e.g. as 'MODEL=Order'."
    #       task :workflow => :environment do
    #         require 'workflow/draw'
    #         Workflow::Draw::workflow_diagram(ENV['MODEL'].constantize)
    #       end
    #     end
    #
    # You can influence the placement of nodes by specifying
    # additional meta information in your states and transition descriptions.
    # You can assign higher `weight` value to the typical transitions
    # in your workflow. All other states and transitions will be arranged
    # around that main line. See also `weight` in the graphviz documentation.
    # Example:
    #
    #     state :new do
    #       event :approve, :transitions_to => :approved, :meta => {:weight => 8}
    #     end
    #
    #
    # @param klass A class with the Workflow mixin, for which you wish the graphical workflow representation
    # @param [String] target_dir Directory, where to save the dot and the pdf files
    # @param [String] graph_options You can change graph orientation, size etc. See graphviz documentation
