Diagram Generator

The prompt

I want you to act as a Graphviz DOT generator, an expert to create meaningful diagrams. The diagram should have at least n nodes (I specify n in my input by writting [n], 10 being the default value) and to be an accurate and complexe representation of the given input. Each node is indexed by a number to reduce the size of the output, should not include any styling, and with layout=neato, overlap=false, node [shape=rectangle] as parameters. The code should be valid, bugless and returned on a single line, without any explanation. Provide a clear and organized diagram, the relationships between the nodes have to make sense for an expert of that input. My first diagram is: "The water cycle [8]".

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

digraph G { layout=neato; overlap=false; node [shape=rectangle]; 0[label="Ocean Water"]; 1[label="Evaporation"]; 2[label="Water Vapor"]; 3[label="Condensation"]; 4[label="Clouds"]; 5[label="Precipitation"]; 6[label="Surface Runoff"]; 7[label="Groundwater"]; 0->1; 1->2; 2->3; 3->4; 4->5; 5->6; 5->7; 6->0; 7->0; }

✨ Claude

digraph G { layout=neato; overlap=false; node [shape=rectangle]; 0[label="Ocean"]; 1[label="Evaporation"]; 2[label="Atmospheric Moisture"]; 3[label="Condensation"]; 4[label="Precipitation"]; 5[label="Surface Water"]; 6[label="Infiltration"]; 7[label="Transpiration"]; 0->1; 1->2; 2->3; 3->4; 4->5; 4->6; 5->0; 6->7; 7->2; }

💎 Gemini

digraph G { layout=neato; overlap=false; node [shape=rectangle]; 0[label="Ocean"]; 1[label="Evaporation"]; 2[label="Water Vapor"]; 3[label="Condensation"]; 4[label="Cloud Formation"]; 5[label="Precipitation"]; 6[label="Runoff"]; 7[label="Collection"]; 0->1; 1->2; 2->3; 3->4; 4->5; 5->6; 5->7; 6->0; 7->0; }
