Do we have any use for the DOT/NetworkX graphs that Nipype can generate?

[shnizzedy]

Nipype's dotfile graphs don't work with BIDS-style node names simply because unquoted strings containing hyphens aren't allowed in DOT. Working on #1480 / #1499 I wanted to look at these graphs for FCP-INDI/cpac_run_logs#18, so I just quoted the strings like

C-PAC/CPAC/pipeline/nipype_pipeline_engine/engine.py

Line 120 in 80d3f7e

'"%s"[label="%s", shape=box3d,'

and the functionality is restored.

I'm wondering if any of these would be useful to be generated and saved in the log directory by default?

I think the 🔗 SVGs are more useful than the PNGs for pretty much any C-PAC configuration just for the sheer size of the things, but since doesn't let you embed SVGs in discussions, here are the PNG graphs for that pipeline.
