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.

This manual page was written by Cyril Brulebois
<cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr> in november 2006, based on an
initial documentation effort by Joachim Berdal Haga
<jbh@lupus.ig3.net>. It can be distributed under the same terms as the
graphviz package.
