Graphviz not rendering node image - image

Question

despite using the most simple boilerplate I can find, I can't seem to get graphviz to render a png image onto a node
Some may consider this a duplicate of How do I get DOT to display an image for a node? however this is the question I was following to get to this point and it STILL doesn't work
I've tried rendering already in several programs including vscode's preview extension, the dot -Tpng graph.png chickens2.dot -v command line method, and GVEdit and none of them correctly render the image into the node
here is my code
digraph graph1 {
node [shape=record];
white [image="dye_powder_white.png", label=""];
}
and the folder structure
Chickens/
|chickens2.dot
|dye_powder_white.png
I wanted it to simply show the icon inside of the node, but it just renders a blank node.
here is the output from dot.exe:
>dot -Tpng -o graph.png chickens2.dot -v

here is the exact png image I'm trying to embed just in case it's incompatible with graphviz and I don't realize:

and finally, the resulting image which is the same in every method I've tried:

some things I'm considering:
is there some kind of configuration I'm not seeing which disables images by default?
do I have some kind of outdated version? (literally downloaded the stable this morning to try it out so I doubt it)
am I simply doing something wrong?
are graphviz images incompatible with windows 10?
am I missing a prerequisite library?
is my png image incompatible with graphviz somehow?
I've been trying this for an hour or so now and none of my attempts seem to be changing anything.
what is the correct way to get graphviz to render an image onto a node?

Answer 1

Old question, but I also couldn't figure this out. The attribute image doesn't seem to work as expected, and the manpage doesn't help, nor do the docs. Posting what worked for me for others who come across this question.
This answered it for me, from 2011. For example, in some image.gv file:
digraph {
ratio="fill";
size="10,10!";
margin="0,0";
node [shape=plain];
root [label=<<TABLE border="0"><TR><TD><IMG SRC="image.png"/></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>text under</TD></TR></TABLE>>];
}
