GRAPHVIZ(7)

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.
