Introduction to Graphviz

The Graphviz package contains graph visualization software. Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Graphviz has several main graph layout programs. It also has web and interactive graphical interfaces, auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings.

The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and creates diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents, or as objects displayed in an interactive graph browser. (Graphviz also supports GXL, an XML dialect.) In practice, graphs are usually generated from external data sources, but they can also be created and edited manually, either as raw text files or within a graphical editor. (Graphviz was not intended to be a Visio replacement, so it would probably be frustrating to try to use it that way.)

This package is useful for automatic graph drawing which has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains. Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes.
