Displaying join tables (many-to-many relationships) with django-extensions graph_models

For an exhaustive visual understanding of a data model, is there a way to display join tables (they actually exist in the DB) of many-to-many relationships with graph_models from the current (3.2.1) django-extension module?

Here is the actual help where I can't find anything related:

$ python manage.py graph_models --help

                              [app_label ...]

Creates a GraphViz dot file for the specified app names. You can pass multiple app names and they will all be combined into a single model. Output is usually directed to a dot file.

positional arguments:
  app_label

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --pygraphviz          Output graph data as image using PyGraphViz.
  --pydot               Output graph data as image using PyDot(Plus).
  --dot                 Output graph data as raw DOT (graph description language) text data.
  --json                Output graph data as JSON

  --theme THEME, -t THEME
                        Theme to use. Supplied are 'original' and 'django2018'. You can create your own by creating dot templates in 'django_extentions/graph_models/themename/' template directory.
