How to use this plugin?

Basically it is supposed to work, right when you install it (but you can change some settings in the Tools -> Options -> GraphvizVS).
Where there are .dot files, it adds a custom icon, and offers some basic intellisense.
And in .dot files you can then open a new window through the View menu, and then when you save the file it updates the preview window with the newly refreshed graph.
Also you can go to Build tool menu or besides the Run buttons and there is an option to export the graph (instead of using the command line)...

Oh thank you for pointing that out, I learnt something about Visual studio now yey. actually I am kind of new to visual studio and trying to learn about the environment.

So yes, I checked out the options but like, is it supposed to select a folder, does it automatically just creates a file in the project folder? or any manual interaction required to do that?

The options are there just if you really want to customize something (personally I keep it default).
Basically like I said, for the graph preview you need to first open the window from the View menu, and then save the .dot document.
For the exporting, you just click the export button, and select the save location.

Well thank you so much, I wonder if you could also add this point in the project README.md for other users as well, quite useful and informative.

Great idea, I will see... But if you have any spare time, you could also make a pull request :)
