graphviz

rich set of graph drawing tools

NAME

graphviz - rich set of graph drawing tools

SYNOPSIS

This manpage has been written to fulfil the need of a centralized documentation presenting all available tools in the graphviz package.

AVAILABLE TOOLS

Graph layout programs

dot	filter for hierarchical layouts of graphs
neato	filter for symmetric layouts of graphs
twopi	filter for radial layouts of graphs
circo	filter for circular layout of graphs
fdp	filter for symmetric layouts of graphs

All of the filters work with either directed or undirected graphs, though dot is typically used for directed graphs and neato for undirected graphs. Note also that neato -n[2] can be used to render layouts produced by the other filters.

Graph drawing programs

lefty	A Programmable Graphics Editor
lneato	lefty + neato
dotty	lefty + dot

Graph layout enhancement

gvcolor
	flow colors through a ranked digraph
unflatten
	adjust directed graphs to improve layout aspect ratio
gvpack	merge and pack disjoint graphs

Graph information and transformation

gc	count graph components
acyclic
	make directed graph acyclic
nop	pretty-print graph file
ccomps	connected components filter for graphs
sccmap	extract strongly connected components of directed graphs
tred	transitive reduction filter for directed graphs
dijkstra
	single-source distance filter
bcomps	biconnected components filter for graphs
gvpr	graph pattern scanning and processing language
prune	prune directed graphs

Other

gxl2dot, dot2gxl
	GXL-DOT converters
