graphviz is a set of graph drawing tools for Unix or MS-Windows |
7 |
|
|
(win32), including a web service interface (webdot). Source code and |
8 |
|
|
binary executables for common platforms are available. Graph drawing |
9 |
|
|
addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by |
10 |
|
|
constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks. |
11 |
|
|
Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key |
12 |
|
|
technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and |
13 |
|
|
network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where |
14 |
|
|
these tools might be particularly useful include: |
15 |
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
* you would like to restructure a program and first need to |
17 |
|
|
understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source |
18 |
|
|
files. |
19 |
|
|
* you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not |
20 |
|
|
only individual links, but their relationships |
21 |
|
|
* you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a |
22 |
|
|
finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain |
23 |
|
|
error state arises |
24 |
|
|
* you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or |
25 |
|
|
distributed program represented pictorially |
26 |
|
|
* you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked |
27 |
|
|
documents |
28 |
|
|
* you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in |
29 |
|
|
a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages |
