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.

Graph drawing programs

	lefty		A Programmable Graphics Editor
	lneato		lefty + neato
	dotty		lefty + dot

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

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

AUTHOR

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.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
