TODO :

• Support more attributes of Graphviz

• Dynamicaly move node and redraw layout ? (I dont know if it's possible) : not possible

Good lecture on subject :

• Steve Dodier-Lazaro : http://www.mupuf.org/blog/2010/07/08/how_to_use_graphviz_to_draw_graphs_in_a_qt_graphics_scene/
• Arvin Schnell : http://arvin.schnell-web.net/qgraph/

Other similar projects (you must look before lose time with GraphViz) :

• Constraint-based diagram editor : https://github.com/mjwybrow/dunnart (Probably best one ! Awesome work ...)
• OGDF - Open Graph Drawing Framework : http://www.ogdf.net/doku.php (Very good library, better than GraphViz !)
