GRAPHVIZ

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.

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
