Hey guys, is there a way to render just the flow schematic seen in the cloud UI on a local machine?

Hi <@U018SP8MX7E> I don’t believe there is a way to just run the schematic locally at this time however you can <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/ui#installation|spin up the UI locally> and point it at your API (either server if you are using it or <http://cloud.prefect.io|cloud.prefect.io>). This is the full UI but if you just want the schematic experience the closest thing at this moment is calling `flow.visualize()`

Is `flow.visualize()` something that I can call in a python shell?

oh nice, thanks for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I have a related question to this but turned around. Is there a way to get the UI to visualize using the core's `flow.visualize()`? Or at least get the UI to give the nodes in the graph more space between each other?

The reason is that I have a very big diagram that graphviz handles better than the UI's schematic view.
