Examples

Try the following help command for available options.

$ rubyfca -h

sample.cxt → sample1.png

$ rubyfca sample.cxt sample1.png

Data in either format above generates the following concept lattice (with Graphviz).

sample.cxt → sample2.png

$ rubyfca -c -l sample.cxt sample2.png

Nodes of the network can be also represented as boxes instead of circles.

sample.cxt → sample3.png

$ rubyfca -f sample.cxt sample3.png

By default, a label contains only the minimal information of the node. It is possible to show the full information
