Question: does the tool support Jypyter Lab/Notebook? #43

I am working on a remote machine with only terminal access. When running the tool with Jupiter notebook I am getting the following error:

Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/pdf"
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 869: www-browser: command not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: line 869: links2: command not found

xdg-open: no method available for opening '.gv.pdf'

Is it possible to open the graph through jupyter? Or is this currently not supported?

Disclaimer: I never tried it before. But the graphs entirely based on GraphViz; therefore some support is baked in and the object the visualization-function returns is simply a GraphViz-digraph, so the code examples shown here should work as well: https://h1ros.github.io/posts/introduction-to-graphviz-in-jupyter-notebook/

That being said, I am currently speaking with a potential contributor to create more dedicated support for notebooks. This involves stuff like javascript-callbacks that would allow you to make a graphviz-vizualization interactive and adjust the scope of the nodes etc. but It's still very much an idea, so do not expect it anytime soon.
