📄 Description

Fixes:

Show the actual exception description when graphviz fails to render.

If the dot executable is missing, the exception now becomes:

There was an error generating the requested graph: failed to execute ['dot', '-Tpng'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH

which is similar to the current message. But this is not the only problem which can occur; those other problems should now be easier to diagnose.
