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.

documentation effort by Joachim Berdal Haga <

distributed under the same terms as the graphviz package.
