springgraph - renders a graph from a .dot file

       This manual page was written by Kevin M. Rosenberg <kmr@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but
       may be used by others).

                                                September 5, 2005                                 SPRINGGRAPH(1)

       Springgraph will read in a .dot file description of a graph, which, for each node, specifies its name and
       which  other  nodes  it is connected to, and then renders a graph. The output is a PNG file. Each node is
       drawn as an ellipse, and each connection is drawn as an arrow. The node placement is a result of  all  of
       the  nodes  moving away from each other, while all nodes which are connected move toward each other. This
       movement is repeated until it stabilizes.

       Springgraph was written as an alternative to neato, which is part of graphviz. It attempts  to  read  the
       same  .dot files used by graphviz, but currently only supports a limited number of node attributes (label
       and fillcolor) and can only handle two nodes per edge definition ("node1 -> node2", not "node1  ->  node2
       -> node3").

        digraph {
         "rene" -> "myon";
         "mvo" -> "rene";
        }

       springgraph - renders a graph from a .dot file

springgraph accepts the following options:

       -p              Create a file that can be rendered with POV-Ray

       -v              create a VRML file

       -s              this  option  specifies  the  scale.  All  of  the node locations are multiplied by this.
                       Increase the scale to eliminate node overlaps. Decrease  the  scale  to  make  the  graph
                       smaller.

       -t              make the background of the resulting image transparent.

       -b              set  background color of image, specify it in the form RRGGBB, in hex digits, e.g. FFFFFF
                       is white, 000000 is black, FF0000 is red, ...

       -l              set the line color, same format as the background color

       -h              display usage synopsis
