DOT Language - Layout Programs

Layout Programs

The DOT language defines a graph, but does not provide facilities for rendering the graph. There are several programs that can be used to render, view, and manipulate graphs in the DOT language:

  • Graphviz - A collection of libraries and utilities to manipulate and render graphs
  • Canviz - a JavaScript library for rendering dot files.
  • Grappa - A Java wrapper for using the Graphviz libraries.
  • Beluging - A Python & Google Cloud based viewer of DOT and Beluga extensions.
  • Tulip can import dot files for analysis
  • OmniGraffle can import a subset of DOT, producing an editable document. (The result cannot be exported back to DOT, however.)
  • ZGRViewer, a GraphViz/DOT Viewer link
  • VizierFX, A Flex graph rendering library link
  • Gephi - an interactive visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs

Famous quotes containing the word programs:

    Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.
    Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
