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. Note also that neato -n[2] can be used to render layouts produced by the other filters.
