I am using snakemake to create workflows. It is very convenient to visualise my DAG using snakemake --dag target{sampleA,sampleB,sampleC}File | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf. The resulting pdf shows all the rules' dependencies to get to the target files. However, there is one node per rule/sample combination in the pdf image. When I have many samples, this creates an unreadable image with little added value. Is there an option to merge all the nodes from the same rule together so that I have the workflow for just one sample?

I think you are looking for --rulegraph instead of --dag
--rulegraph Do not execute anything and print the dependency graph
of rules in the dot language. This will be less
crowded than above DAG of jobs, but also show less
information. Note that each rule is displayed once,
hence the displayed graph will be cyclic if a rule
appears in several steps of the workflow. Use this if
above option leads to a DAG that is too large.
