The Octavia project has a few graphviz diagrams in it's documentation.
You can reference that project to see how it is done.
That said, we have seen a decline in the stability of the graphviz
code over the last few years (cylinder object disappeared, graphviz
dot crashes on Ubuntu, etc.) that we have had to work around to get
the diagrams to continue to render. Because of that I would recommend
you use it sparingly.
