[Ltg] [Cltphds] [Clt] graph drawing tool

[Alexandre Rafalovitch]

How precise do you need the layout? If you want to control every
aspect, than Dia might be for you. But if you are much more interested
in showing the relationship and/or have a lot of nodes, look into the
automated graph layout software.

The one I swear by is Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/). It is free
from ATT and has some real heavy math behind it. The input interface
is dead simple. It is a text file with a->b; b->c; a->c; You can of
course get much fancier with colors and shapes and titles, but
starting up is extremely simple.

I use it in many of my projects and I also blogged about it repeatedly
to point out cool products using it (see for example my entry at:
http://blogicblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/more-graphviz-goodness.html )
