Research direction

Start by locating the code that generates commodity graphs and the command-line option definitions. Review how the dot command and a proposed --convert-to=png option would fit, then define the expected behavior when Graphviz is unavailable and verify that the selected option produces PNG output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Another probably-out-of-scope idea I had was that maybe we could invoke the dot command automatically for the user to e.g. generate PNG files. We shouldn't make it a requirement that the user has graphviz installed, so we could either detect it or add an option like --convert-to=png or something.
