 ### agtree2dot.save_dot(variable, variable_labels, result_file) ###
 
-Saves into `result_file` a dot file corresponding to the autograd graph for `variable`, which can be either a single `Variable` or a set of `Variable`s. The dictionary `variable_labels` associates strings to some variables, which will be used in the resulting graph.
