2143 Program 3 - Graphviz Class Solution

Overview
Write a class that will generate graphviz "dot" syntax so you can visualize the output of your data structures. Graphviz is used for "graph visualization" and provides a simple way to visualize linked data structures. For example the following code:
```dot digraph foo { rankdir=LR; node [shape=record] null [shape=circle,color=white]; 1 -> 2 2 -> 3 3 -> null } ```
Creates the following output:

The example above is very simple which can make Graphviz really easy to use and learn. Having said that, Graphviz can get very very complex as well. If we were to attempt to implement all the features available, we would probably invest multiple semesters to get it done. So we are only going to implement a small portion of the featqures that Graphviz offers. The example below is more on par with the features we want to utilize.
dot digraph linkedlist { rankdir=LR; node [shape=record,color=purple]; 1 [label="{ <data> 12 | <next> }"] 2 [label="{ <data> 99 | <next> }"]; 3 [label="{ <data> 37 | <next> }"]; null [shape=circle,color=white];
1:next:3 -> 2:data [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, color=orange, dir=both, tailclip=false]; 2:next:3 -> 3:data [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, color=orange, dir=both, tailclip=false]; 3:next:3 -> null [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, color=orange, dir=both, tailclip=false]; }
Creates the following output:

Requirements
Your Graphviz class should be able to:
Add nodes
Add edges between nodes
The styles you need to implement are:
Colored nodes
Colored edges
Edge direction includes: None, One, Both
Node shapes: should include "record" plus at least 3 more from here Edge shapes: choose at least 4 from here
Tests
Run this code with your class and make sure you get the same output. The example below uses method names that I might use. You can use any method names you want, as long as they are descriptive and give same output.
digraph foo { rankdir=LR; node [shape=record]; a [label="{ 12 | }", width=1.2] b [label="{ 99 | }"]; c [label="{ 37 | }"]; null [shape=plain]; a:ref:n -> b:data [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, dir=both, tailclip=false, arrowsize=1.2]; b:ref:n -> c:data [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, dir=both, tailclip=false]; c:ref:n -> null [arrowhead=vee, arrowtail=dot, dir=both, tailclip=false]; } etc... ```
** Image Output **
Example Code Run ```cpp
List L; L.addNode(5); L.addNode(7); L.addNode(9); L.print(); ```
Deliverables
Create a folder in your assignments folder called P01
In that folder create a file called README.md

Print out your source code. Make sure it's commented.
Print out your output file.
Put your assignment on the lecture podium at the beginning of class. Staple everything in this order:
1) Banner (on top)
2) Source code (middle)
3) Output (bottom)
Any hand writing on your assignment is reduction in 1 letter grade. Failure to follow instructions is a reduction in 1 letter grade.
