FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] "dot" not found in path.

1.环境：Windows

2.利用pydot库和以下代码将dot文件转换为png文件时报错

(graph,) = pydot.graph_from_dot_file('tree.dot',encoding="utf-8")
# Write graph to a png file
graph.write_png('tree.png')

3.解决方法:

3.1 下载 graphviz-2.38.msi 直接安装即可

3.2  在python安装环境下找到pydot.py文件，若是虚拟环境或者Anaconda环境的话直接到相应的python中查找即可

                                

用编辑器打开，找到 self.prog = 'dot'                

将其改为  

                       

再次运行代码，不报错了，生成相应的png图片
