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:

    We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.
    Richard Louv (20th century)
