Use visualize through a script

[prokolyvakis]

Hello,

I would like to use the "visualize" functionality through scripting, instead of using it through the ontospy shell. How can I do that?

Thank you in advance!

I'm cleaning up that part of the codebase soon, so will provide an example of how to create visualizations programmatically.

The API isn't very good still, but something like this will work:

In [1]: import ontospy

In [2]: model = ontospy.Ontospy("http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
----------
