Description

Right know, GraphIO can only read dot-graphs. It would be good if we also could write these. The we could use the GraphViz for plotting. While the dot-format has a lot of different features, it would be sufficient for know if we can write graphs of type SimpleGraphand SimpleDiGraph. This should not be very difficult to implement.

Research direction

Start by inspecting GraphIO's existing DOT-graph reader and the APIs for SimpleGraph and SimpleDiGraph. The work is done when both graph types can be written in DOT format that GraphViz can use for plotting.
