FYI, you can abbreviate some of that:

  Vixen -> Rudolph;
  Vixen -> Prancer;
  Vixen -> Dasher;
Is equivalent to:

  Vixen -> {Rudolph Prancer Dasher}
You can also do:

  {Comet Dancer} -> Vixen -> {Rudolph Prancer Dasher}
Very nice when dealing with larger graphs.

Oh cool, didn't know it could do that so easily. GraphViz is really something.
I spent a lot of time with it a few years back developing some documentation. I had actually forgotten the correct syntax and had to look it up. It was a lot of fun to use, though.

I should probably brush up on it a bit and maybe use it for some crap we have at work that's incomprehensible ("What calls what again? Does anyone know? And it's a bespoke language so there is no tooling to help? Shit.")
