# Diagrams with Graphviz

To get the best-looking class diagrams for your documentation, generate them with Graphviz as vector graphics with transparent background:

# Doxyfile
HAVE_DOT = YES
DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT = svg
DOT_TRANSPARENT = YES

In case `INTERACTIVE_SVG = YES` is set in the Doxyfile, all user-defined dotgraphs must be wrapped with the `interactive_dotgraph` CSS class for them to be rendered correctly:

<div class="interactive_dotgraph">
\dotfile graph.dot
</div>

Note
  Both the default overflow scrolling behavior in this theme and the interactive editor enabled by `INTERACTIVE_SVG` are unsatisfying workarounds IMHO. Consider designing your graphs to be narrow enough to fit the page to avoid scrolling.

# Disable Dark Mode

If you don't want the theme to automatically switch to dark mode depending on the browser preference, you can disable dark mode by adding the `light-mode` class to the HTML tag in the header template:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="light-mode">

The same can be done to always enable dark mode:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="dark-mode">

Warning
  This only works if you don't use the dark-mode toggle extension.

# Choosing Sidebar Width

If you have enabled the sidebar-only theme variant, make sure to carefully choose a proper width for your sidebar. It should be wide enough to hold the icon, project title and version number. If the content is too wide, it will be cut off.

html {
/* Make sure sidebar is wide enough to contain the page title (logo + title + version) */
--side-nav-fixed-width: 335px;
}

The chosen width should also be set in the Doxyfile:

# Doxyfile
TREEVIEW_WIDTH = 335

# Formatting Tables

By default tables in this theme are left-aligned and as wide as required to fit their content. Those properties can be changed for individual tables.

## Centering

Tables can be centered by wrapping them in the `<center>` HTML tag.

- Code
  <center>
  | This table | is centered |
  |------------|----------------------|
  | test 1 | test 2 |
  </center>
- Result

  This table | is centered
  --- | ---
  test 1 | test 2

## Full Width

To make tables span the full width of the page, no matter how wide the content is, wrap the table in the `full_width_table` CSS class.

Warning
  Apply with caution! This breaks the overflow scrolling of the table. Content might be cut off on small screens!

- Code
  <div class="full_width_table">
  | This table | spans the full width |
  |------------|----------------------|
  | test 1 | test 2 |
  </div>
- Result

  This table | spans the full width
  --- | ---
  test 1 | test 2
