read .DOT and generate node/edge dfs?

[aschmidt-amplify]

I did not see a function for this, but may have missed it. Is there currently a function (or will there be a function in a future release) that takes a .DOT file (or DOT code object) and builds a graph from which node and edge dataframes can be extracted?

I see that import_graph supports GML, SIF, .edges, and .mtx formats. Apparently there is a generate_dot(graph) function that takes a dgr_graph and provides DOT. I also don't see anything in reverse that reads the file into an object (maybe my mistake).

Hoping for this feature too, but in the meantime, please update if you find a way to import the DOT file with another package and pass the graph object to DiagrammeR.

This can be used to plot the graph: DiagrammeR::grViz("test.gv")

Haven't discovered if I can extract the data frames.

Apparently, igraph is unlikely to support reading Dot files. thomasp85/tidygraph#183 (comment).

I suppose DiagrammeR is unlikely to do it either.
